The main point of this article is that "AI is not simply a tool to make existing educational approaches more efficient. Instead, we should ask how open principles might enable entirely new forms of open learning and community based on the common good." It takes a bit of work to get to this point as the authors focus on "three aspects of openness can contribute to better futures": open technologies, open practices and resources, and open, participatory governance of education. "We suggest a strategy of 'non-stupid optimism' in relation to educational technology. This approach acknowledges technology's potential benefits while remaining critically aware of how techno-solutionist attitudes often serve economic growth and capital accumulation rather than genuine educational needs."
