Is the best way to improve literacy through the use of AI as a personal tutor, or will AI remove literacy skills altogether? https://t.co/pDUaju2cRk.

AI everywhere all the time will change everything – but not in the way that we think. AI will bring change so radical that we will not realise how fundamental it is until it is over.

Of all the things which AI may do to improve human society, its impact on education will be the biggest and most significant.

@RickyPo Please be careful! When you make information expensive you make it so it cannot be criticised. I argued with his views on my blog and he cancelled my subscription to his newsletter!

Is the revision of the Gates foundation open Access policy The Beginning Of The End for open access journals? https://t.co/lnbUC3geCA

Data provenance information is vital if we are to trust generative AI. Will the market self Regulate to create vital trust? https://t.co/a9vkCAu6Nu

[David Worlock @dworlock]

Do you worry about AI undermining copyright? or about the sources from which training DATA was scraped? Properly marking DATA to show its provenance would be a good start if we wish to ease those fears. https://t.co/o3I24BVWkl

@RickyPo You are lucky to be able to subscribe to the Journal of this outstanding advocate of freedom of thought and speech. When I criticised him in my blog, he cancelled my subscription!

More important steps in the creation of a data driven, machine interoperable world of scholarly communications https://t.co/jgObiDZMUw

[David Worlock @dworlock]

@lisalibrarian Economics and social sciences are as strong as STM in data analytics. But the real point is that all articles are research narratives - human speak not machine to machine speak .

[David Worlock @dworlock]

In scholarly communications we must now be turning to a world beyond articles and journals , a world of machine intelligence , research objects and interoperability . Here , in the Contech21 keynote , I try to describe some of this https://t.co/1Q4KStvrRF

The launch of The General Index earlier this month offers the next challenge to the paywall of subscription science journals . With OA , SciHub and now this , are journals publishers in a corner ? https://t.co/Qf5Xd5OYnV

@lisalibrarian How can anyone verify the results if the evidential data is withheld/detached /not deposited where it can be publicly accessed /not marked up for re-use / not machine to machine interoperable ?

[David Worlock @dworlock]

@lisalibrarian REALLY INTERESTING AND USEFUL . THANLS , LISA !

Everyone talks about the speed of change , yet our boards of directors lack the language and analytical framework needed to even begin a discussion of the Future . So lets think about Futures Literacy https://t.co/KwuI7Os0Yb

Boris conference speech unmatched in irrelevance to real issues since fellow Etonian Lord North lost the American colonies in the 1770s . What a country -250 years and no change in the litany of evasion and distraction !
