This is a brief reflection on what they brought, and what it means to practice openness in a moment when AI is reshaping how knowledge is made.

Alicia M. Highland, environmental educator, Founder of Tiny Green Learning, writes for Society & AI on why AI cannot fix what structural disinvestment built. Her work centers justice, community, curiosity, and connection. Her argument is patient, empirical, and necessary.
