2026 Open Education Award for Excellence Nominee:
I am deeply grateful to Open Education Global for this recognition. Open education reminds us that knowledge grows when shared and made accessible. Thank you to everyone who has encouraged my efforts.

I'll be one of six presenters at EDUCAUSE's TL Snapshots: AI Practices for Learning, Aug 24. AI is entering classrooms faster than the norms meant to guide it. I'll share how Society & AI @societyandai builds that missing infrastructure. Join us: events.educause.edu/webinar/…

I wrote a commentary on Google DeepMind's "From AGI to ASI" — read through education and the nature of knowledge. Less a verdict, more a reading from an adjacent field.

@AnthropicAI says AI is building itself. But built for whom? My new piece reads their latest reports alongside Arendt and tech-oligarchy research — and asks who actually benefits from "the exponential."

Honored to share that the @societyandai Research Group — the independent, scholar-led, fee-free publishing initiative I launched last year — has been featured in the 2026 @EDUCAUSE Horizon Report (Teaching & Learning Edition), p. 9.

Most AI-in-education work assumes always-on cloud access. This paper takes the opposite case seriously: bounded, on-device AI is not a degraded substitute —
it is a different pedagogical environment, with affordances cloud systems often suppress.
New open-access paper:
"Infrastructure as Curriculum: What Students Learn When AI Works Offline".
When AI runs offline, its limits become visible — and visible limits teach students to verify, author, and trust calibratedly.

Sharing my latest essay: Who Is Adapting Whom?
We say we're adapting to AI. But AI was trained on us. The loop is real, and unequal. The question isn't whether we adapt. It's who controls the terms.

Grateful to co-author this with Robert W. Maloy and Sharon A. Edwards. We offer a practical model for using purpose-built AI as a thinking partner in education. #AIinEducation #CurriculumDesign
Sharing our new article, "To Boldly Go Where Our Purpose-Built AI Had Not Gone Before", by Robert Maloy, Sharon Edwards, and Sai Gattupalli.
We show how a purpose-built math bot expanded into curriculum design, game-based learning, & source analysis.

Is AI making us smarter, or just faster?
Our latest from @SocietyandAI explores Philosophical Intelligence, the human capacity for inquiry that algorithms can’t replicate. We must prioritize contemplation over computation.

Hi @sama, I noticed the last research article on the Residency page is from May 2023. Is OpenAI still hiring for the Residency program? I’m curious, as my work focuses on AI literacy & teacher ed, & I’d love to build on my math/CS+AI work through this path openai.com/residency/
