As AI reshapes how information is created and accessed, libraries, publishers, and educators are confronting a new question: open for whom? In this live discussion, we explore the tensions between open knowledge and AI—from the strain on library infrastructure and concerns about AI training to the challenges facing Open Educational Resources. How can we address legitimate concerns about AI while preserving broad access to knowledge? Joining the conversation are Chris Bourg of MIT Libraries, Lisa Petrides of ISKME, and Charles Watkinson of University of Michigan Press.
