AI is transforming hardware and software development, but it does not replace the need for people who understand technology and the real world—it increases that need. Just as calculators made math faster but still required human judgment, AI can generate answers that sound convincing while still being wrong.
In this talk, we explore how AI can be used responsibly in open hardware, open source, and maker communities. Can AI help accelerate hardware design, troubleshooting, documentation, and innovation? Can hackerspaces and open communities use AI to empower more people instead of centralizing control in large corporations?
We’ll discuss the risks, opportunities, and future of AI-assisted engineering, open hardware design, and human expertise. As AI evolves rapidly, asking the right questions now is essential to building a better future.

Tutorial: https://opensourcelowtech.org/water_turbine.html
This free and open source turbine can be built for half the cost of a 120 watt solar panel, and will produce about ten times the power (5kWh with 3m drop and 35 l/s flow) per day. It can be plugged into any appropriate waterway without the need for earthworks, and uses only basic off the shelf and recycled materials, and simple hand tools.
