AI and in/justice - an educator view

 Along with many others, I have been mulling on the implications of AI for in/equality,  and on the relationship between AI and in/justice. This is something I have spoken about and intend to write up. To answer the question “What does this mean for educators?” has meant standing back and drawing on literature from outside of education.
Fraser’s* ideas about cannibal capitalism offered a way a way to frame an extraordinarily complex and entangled set of relationships. The image above shows the framework I have summarised from Fraser's writing, and the image below sums up the situation of AI and injustice succinctly. On the whole, the picture is gloomy. Not surprisingly. But in order to change things, we have to understand them, and this is a set of issues that has purposefully been rendered opaque. As a contribution to change, I try to map them out.
As a placeholder, as I haven’t yet managed to write up a narrative, here are the slides I have been using. They are openly licensed so you are welcome to use them, with attribution and the same licence.
 It is of course only a small beginning. Hopefully, the slides are relatively self-explanatory. Please do contact me if they are not. This is very much a work in progress!
