Responsible by Design

The Open University has released v2 of its Responsible by Design (RBD) framework/guidance document. It's all very worthy, but I wonder if it makes much difference in practice?

RBD is our pioneering response to the ethical challenges of Generative AI in education. Rooted in student voice and aligned with institutional strategy, the framework enables staff and students to critically examine AI through six pillars: Bias, Sustainability, Exploitation, Access and Equity, Transparency and Opting Out. A practical, values-driven and easy-to-use framework, it provides reflective prompts and actionable solutions. The aim is to empower educators to make informed choices about how to use AI responsibly. The design response bank offers a practical starting point for exploring complex ethical issues, and a way to put suitable actions into practice when designing courses.
