Artificial intelligence is reshaping the student experience in higher education, often faster than institutions can establish clear protections. Hosted by the Open Education Association, this webinar explores what students are owed as AI becomes embedded in their education, and what open education practitioners can do about it.

The session will open with a presentation from Student Defense, introducing their Student AI Bill of Rights and the principles it establishes around transparency, human oversight, data ownership, safety, and access to AI's benefits. This will be followed by a panel discussion connecting these rights to the realities of OER and open pedagogy work, including questions of student data, authorship, agency, experience, and access. The webinar will close with time for informal discussion among attendees.

Whether you're new to thinking about AI and student rights or already grappling with these questions in your own practice, this webinar will offer a grounding in the Student AI Bill of Rights and offer practical perspectives from faculty, librarians, and students on what it means for open education.
