OLC Presents - Against Artificial Education: Towards an Ethical Framework for Gen AI Use in Education

Join us for an insightful webinar that delves into the transformative potential of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational settings. As this cutting-edge technology rapidly evolves, educators and researchers are grappling with its applications and future impact on online, blended, and in-person learning environments. In this session, we will explore the revolutionary possibilities AI offers for reshaping teaching and learning models. Despite the potential risks, AI could unlock new opportunities for progressive educational goals. Drawing on the rich tradition of philosophy, we will examine the ethical, ontological, and technological dimensions of AI in education. Our discussion will be anchored by insights from renowned philosophers such as Gunther Anders, Michel Foucault, Paolo Freire, Benjamin Bloom, and Hannah Arendt. We will introduce a framework to guide the ethical and humanizing use of AI in modern education, with a focus on the broader political, social, and cultural implications.
