As educators, we can take action and directly support sources by using them in our classes or lessons or cross-referencing them in our research with peer reviewed articles. For example, Wikipedia can be good if you need a little context on who someone is or facts about their age and location.

I think this is important to think about how and why the open web matters especially in regards to what we will actually be able to remember of the digital world in the future. This made me think of how we preserve truth, fact and digital information over time. I know that there are people around the world that have been making digital archives of the internet which is super cool that we will have proof of its existence so we can know if something was changed or manipulated, and ultimately we can use this data to reference what is true as new research and discoveries are made.

I'd like to think we live in a just democratic society with freedom of speech, but lately those feelings (mostly talking in general from the collective population feelings, not all personal) have been challenged due to the ways in which news channels and social media try to divide people, and the ways that "Big Business" are (for lack of better words) taking over politics. I can see why many people I meet are losing trust in the world and government because of this radicalization. On Meta socials like instagram and facebook, what you can view and post has been more and more censored in recent years. I think it is good and bad to an extent, but also contradictory that, for example, certain sources are limited such as news on meta that are rooted in fact and science (e.g. climate science news/research), but then peoples personal opinions that are rooted in racism, prejudice and sexism are allowed to exist in the comment section or in private groups/websites. Hate crimes and hate speech have statistically increased in recent years due to increased numbers in this content online which is very upsetting. I don't usually rant, but overall I guess my point is that I think it is important to think about censorship in today's society as well as the social-political problems that arise from having too much access to people's opinions.

I think the term "good AI" is interesting. I think in order to achieve a "good AI" is an ongoing process due to the vast unknowns of the future of AI. Therefore I think that the creation of AI needs to be nurtured in the same way as how we nurture our students and children. Humans create these AI's as tools, but it shouldn't just stop there and let them roam free without any guidance. As AI progresses, I think it is important for us to keep it on the right course. Since the future of AI is very unknown, we need to try and raise it in a way that we don't lose control over it. We need to show it how to be good and do good.
