Textuality, Corporeality, Citizenship

Abstract

This work explores the relationship between artificial intelligence and educational processes along three main directions, which the authors believe urgently require significant epistemological effort from the educational community. The first direction is the relationship between artificial intelligence and forms of textuality. By incessantly processing vast amounts of texts, the large language models that constitute the core of generative AI seem to represent a definitive overcoming of one of the main limitations that Plato, in the Phaedrus, identifies in written text: the lack of interactivity. The second direction is the relationship between AI and the body. How can we conceive of an intelligence that exists outside bodily incarnation, when human intelligence is so intimately connected to bodily experience? The third direction is the relationship between AI and citizenship: The paragraph addresses the complexity and challenges associated with the contemporary conceptualization of citizenship.
