AI Democracy and Education of Existential Subjectivity
Hiroki Azuma's reading of Rousseau shows the universality and brutality of the general will, while also indicating that algorithms and artificial intelligence should be regarded as tools for productivity innovation rather than transcendent publicity, and should be adopted step-by-step according to the situation in each field of society. Based on this, we can discuss the purpose of education, which has been overlooked in the recent phenomenon of learning and answer the question of how to organize education for the next generation in the era of artificial intelligence. According to Viesta, the goal of education is to foster a growing number of subjects. People with various needs are mergering subjects in the world. Unlike competition, which hanels limited energy through a win-lose logic, this subject is existential and conversational, seeking continuous energy, concentration, and involvement. This exploration of subjectification is the foundation for fostering citizens who criticize the public discourse around education shaped by artificial intelligence and algorithms in a competitive environment, such as changes in the role of teachers, social constructivism, facilitator theory, an explosive increase in lifelong learning opportunities, and the rise of neoliberal evidence-based learning theory.
