Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her)Really enjoyed this fantastic piece by Sonja Drimmer and Christopher Nygren:
https://www.publicbooks.org/four-frictions-or-how-to-resist-ai-in-education/
Here are few favorite pull quotes of mine + one little quibble at the end:
🧵>>
"It is in this context that we must consider the newfound praise of AI in education. AI boosters promise that the technology will find greater efficiencies in education; but this is less about the functionalities of AI itself, and far more about eviscerating the public nature of public education."
>>
"This conception of education is antithetical to the transactional and antihuman program of “optimized” and “efficient” delivery of learning outcomes, promised by proponents of AI’s incursion into the space of education."
>>
"We hope that other educators will join us in helping students and professors to pave an exit ramp off the alienating highway of automated education, and we aspire to achieve this in community, rather than as solitary prompt engineers."
That last point, about learning in community, really resonates with me. It connects with what I say in this piece for UNESCO:
