When you are using the "AI" framing, does the way you talk about "AI" carry water for the Sam Altmans of the world? That is, are you helping to paint a picture of their tech as inevitable, all powerful, and/or anything other than commercial products?

unfortunately I can't make this but I was making a similar argument in a presentation today and I'd love to connect with you at some point!

If you'll be in Albany next week, I'll try to connect threads on anti-democratic parents' rights groups, AI, democracy, and education at a talk I'm giving at SUNY-Albany on Thursday afternoon as part of the AI and Democracy: Critical Questions Speaker Series.
A screenshot of a portion of a flyer advertising my talk at SUNY-Albany. The title of my talk is, "Radio TV Computers Internet YouTube MOOCs AI Will Democratize Education 🤞🏻" with the words "Radio TV Computers Internet YouTube MOOCs" all crossed out. The abstract of my talk reads, "The signatories of President Donald Trump’s “Pledge to America’s Youth: Investing in AI Education” include Big Tech behemoths and smaller educational technology companies that incorporate Big Tech’s generative AI models into their platforms. While it’s unsurprising to see the likes of OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google supporting the President’s initiative, other signatories are perhaps more notable. Moms for America, Moms for Liberty, and Parents Defending Education–groups opposed to public education and its promise of a multicultural democracy–also joined corporate America to support the President’s vision for AI education in the United States. The alignment between these technology companies and parents’ rights groups brings into focus how the push to embed the latest AI technologies into classrooms is also a political project, one that is, despite claims to the contrary, an attack on democracy. In this talk, I consider the history of claiming technology will democratize education in the United States, narratives that often rely on the rhetoric of access while failing to confront structural oppression. Next, I will reflect on how this current moment in AI and education conforms to and diverges from the past, with a focus on Big Tech’s power, politics, and preferred pedagogies. I will close by offering ways forward grounded in collective resistance and a commitment to the democratic ideals of public education."

Adam et al also found biased AI outputs resulted in biased decisions by both experts and non-experts while study participants who did NOT use AI were unbiased, a finding Vicente 2023 confirmed and extended, showing people continued to perpetuate biases even when not using an AI tool.
