A Closing Note on Open Education Week 2026 at Society & AI

Six guest contributors joined Society & AI for Open Education Week 2026 — from classroom practitioners to policy researchers, across three countries and five disciplines. 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.

For #OEWeek26, I'm opening Society & AI to guest contributors.

Most AI-in-education discourse happens in closed systems or vanishes on social media. This is an open invitation to put the harder questions into the scholarly record — freely, openly, without a paywall.

What are you seeing in your classroom, library, or research that isn't being said?

Is the AI-Generation AI-Damaged? | Society & AI

A reflective inquiry into cognitive atrophy, educational purpose, and what it means to learn when generative systems can imitate thinking faster than human minds can produce it

Society & AI
The societal response to AI in Norway is nuanced, with the least concern shown about AI leading to discrimination (30%) and a similar percentage unconcerned (28%). For other issues, hope and unconcern range between 10-20%, while concern or lack of hope is more pronounced at 40-46%. This suggests a tilt in public sentiment towards concern over the implications of AI on society, rather than hope in its technological progress. #SocietyAndAI 8/10
