Beyond Utility: AI as an Epistemic and Cultural Challenge for Education

Beyond Utility: AI as an Epistemic and Cultural Challenge for Education: this is the title of a presentation to be given by Manuel Gentile (researcher at CNR-ITD), at the upcoming event "Scuola e Ricerca: il public engagement per la cultura scientifica del futuro" [School & Research: Public Engagement for the Scientific Culture of the Future] in Ischia, Italy.

 

Manuel’s presentation analyses the broader relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and education by looking beyond functional or instrumental factors. The question here is not only what AI is for, but how it transforms the ways we acquire knowledge, learn, represent knowledge, and make decisions - in school and education generally.
