In Conversation: Open Access, Artificial Intelligence, & Who Owns Our Knowledge?

Course description

Flinders University Library invites you to join us for a lively conversation at the crossroads of Open Access and artificial intelligence. As part of Open Access Week 2025, we’ll be exploring this year’s theme — Who Owns Our Knowledge? — and asking what it really means in an age of AI. 

Guided by Library Director Prashant Pandey and MC’d by Associate Library Director Liz Hall, our panel of Flinders University academic guests (to be announced soon!) will explore the ethical and legal issues at play, and what they might mean for the future of research and scholarship. The discussion will be informal, engaging, and designed to spark plenty of ideas. 

Along the way, you can also look forward to: 

  • Morning tea with Open Access–themed donuts and cupcakes 
  • 3D printed door prizes (because who doesn’t love a surprise?
  • Time to connect with colleagues and add your voice to the conversation
