In our field, we’ve been writing about this for well over a decade. It’s in Eli Pariser’s ‘filter bubbles’, in Cass Sunstein’s Republic 2.0, even in my PhD thesis and first book, Internet Privacy Rights.
Algorithms and AI exacerbate the problem, but it’s there without them.

#AI is built on historical data. It inevitably reflects, prolongs, and—at its worst—amplifies #bias.
➡️ No, "clear ethical standards" for AI development and deployment alone won’t erase systemic discrimination already embedded in real-world practices.

Expect the U.K. to try to follow.
Australia's decision to require age/identity verification, including facial scans, in order to do a Google search is dystopian.
We're watching the death of an open, anonymous internet, and the gradual takeover of information online by the state — under the guise of protecting children.

Australia is quietly rolling out age checks for search engines like Google
Just as Australians are adjusting to the idea of having their ages checked for social media, age assurance rules are being applied to search engines and many other corners of the internet.

💡In this post, I go behind the viral clickbait to explore what the MIT research led by Nataliya Kosmyna, Ph.D actually says about #AI, cognitive debt, and #learning - and why the “Brain-to-LLM” approach might be one of the most important ideas for educators

Brain-to-LLM, Cognitive Debt, and Being Strategic: Going behind the headlines of ‘that MIT paper’.
The recent MIT Media Lab study Your Brain on ChatGPT made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Accusatory articles and alarmist social media posts latched onto a simplistic narrative: that AI tools like ChatGPT are, in short, 'cognitively corrosive'. But the real story is far more interesting and far more relevant to those of us working in classrooms today. But let's start at the beginning.
