Artificial Intelligence in the Mirror of Education: The Problem of Dialogue

The meanings and goals of mass education are to transfer pedagogically adapted social experience from teacher to student. Such education has the character of transmission and is therefore monologue-like; it reflects the idea of a person as a “blank sheet”. However, experience and knowledge cannot be conveyed directly; they are formed from within. The transfer of impersonal information in a ready-made form does not take into account the personal characteristics, meanings and goals of the student himself, who does not participate in the creation of knowledge. This approach leads to the training of a specialist prone to imitation, which helps to accelerate the historical process, leads to the atomization of personality and increased aggression. Artificial intelligence, performing an increasing number of functions for humans, saves them time and facilitates professional and personal actions by facilitating the transfer of information, which many people may consuder a sinonom of a “knowledge”. Can artificial intelligence not only serve as a generator of solutions to student’s needs, but also help identify, unlock and realize their potential? In other words, can it support the student in a subject-to-subject interaction with other students and teachers within the framework of dialogical education? Monologue education and artificial intelligence have one important feature in common – the lack of internal creativity. We believe that artificial intelligence cannot be a subject due to the lack of boundaries, since new meanings are always born in dialogue based on the self of the subjects. Artificial intelligence does not have an internal space of meanings, which is the basic condition for dialogue. Artificial intelligence enhances the negative features of monologue education. It makes a person’s life easier, but it does so by reducing opportunities for their development. Heuristic-type education, dialogical in nature, acts as a student’s assistant in his creative selfrealization and develops the qualities of a creator’s personality capable of effective interaction with artificial intelligence.
