Today I’m launching two things: a new Open Access eBook and a dedicated website for the Teaching AI Ethics project.
Since 2023, the original Teaching AI Ethics series, nine articles covering bias, privacy, copyright, environmental impact, power, and more, has been used by hundreds of schools and universities worldwide. The collection became an Open Access eBook in 2024, and you can still get it for free here.
In 2025, I researched and wrote nine entirely new articles, completing the updated series two weeks ago. The project has outgrown this site, so it now has a home of its own.
Here’s what’s new.
Teaching AI Ethics: A Guide for Educators
The updated series is now available as a free, Open Access eBook: Teaching AI Ethics: A Guide for Educators. It covers all nine of the 2026 topics (bias, environment, truth, copyright, privacy, data, emotions and social chatbots, human labour, and power), each with updated research, new case studies, and teaching ideas mapped to curriculum areas across English, Science, Civics, Computer Science, the Arts, and more. The appendix includes over 150 inquiry questions organised by subject, so you can find entry points for your discipline without reading the whole book.
It’s released under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0 licence, which means you can share it, adapt it, and use it in your school or university, as long as you credit the source and don’t sell it.
You can grab the eBook for free here.
The new Teaching AI Ethics website
Even more exciting: the Teaching AI Ethics project now has its own home at teachingaiethics.com. The site hosts the full article series, but the most useful addition is the Resources section, which lets educators filter inquiry questions by topic (bias, privacy, power, etc.) and by subject area. If you teach Geography and want to find questions about environmental impact, or you teach Legal Studies and want a case study on copyright, you can get there in a couple of clicks rather than reading through the articles.
There’s also a dedicated Case Studies section that collects the real-world examples from across the series (Getty v. Stability AI, Character.AI and teen mental health, OpenAI and Sama, Italy’s GDPR fine, and others) in one place. These are designed to be used as standalone teaching materials or as starting points for deeper discussion.
As with the existing resources on this site and the two published eBooks, everything on the Teaching AI Ethics website is released under the CC BY NC SA 4.0 license for sharing and non-commercial use. What began as a passion project has now expanded into a hugely successful collection, and it has only reached this point through the support of educators who read this blog, subscribe to the mailing list, and use the resources in their classes.
The site will continue to grow as new case studies and research emerge. I have plans to add a live feed of articles and research related to the specific areas, and further resources, teaching ideas, and key questions for educators.
