Dr Pen<p>We all want an open web, open knowledge, data, science and content (and AI). But when society makes power so unequal, so imbalanced economically, how can we continue like this?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/openweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openweb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/knowledgecommons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knowledgecommons</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenAI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/academicchatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academicchatter</span></a></p>

They have recently introduced a more detailed KC Works system of metadata and information on research repository deposits. The template of our profile pages allows for self-introductory and networking information as well as our deposits in the KC [Knowledge Commons] Works repository of academic and creative works. I have 85 deposits in a wide range of 25 genres or categories.</p><p>The new KC Works system also allows for editing and adding information, so I have gone through the 85 deposits, updating some of them especially to make the content more immediately accessible. Visitors to the deposit pages can usually see a PDF file of the content or download it, but if not, click on the Details tab and then the URL.</p><p>My Profile Page including the KCWorks deposits is at <a href="https://hcommons.org/members/stevemccartyinjapan" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hcommons.org/members/stevemcca</span><span class="invisible">rtyinjapan</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/KnowledgeCommons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KnowledgeCommons</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/OER" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OER</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/humanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanities</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/edutooters" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>edutooters</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>academicchatter</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hcommons.social/@hello" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>hello</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/japan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>japan</span></a></span></p>

Dr Pen<p>Im writing a paper for an upcoming conference, probably titled 'The Knowledge Commons in the Age of AI". It will be a follow up to my paper from 2018 that discussed related topics (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1186/s40561-018-0056-z" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">doi.org/10.1186/s40561-018-005</span><span class="invisible">6-z</span></a> ).</p><p>Though I will reflect on some positive issues, focus will be on risks and challenges, so it will be a critique, not in praise of, AI.

Dr Pen<p>When we teach WW1 history and show photographs of men in the trenches, and no one knows if they are real or midjourney fake then we are in deep trouble. Or teach scientific principles through research papers and don't know if the text is authentic human created or response engine output, we are in deep trouble.
