Theories of Knowledge, Education, and Artificial Intelligence

Theories of knowledge and education are deeply intertwined, if not inextricably bound together. In the present time, theories of knowledge and education that are predicated on human cognition are complicated by the advent of artificial intelligence (AI). Complications are evidenced through questions such as: What counts as knowledge? How is knowledge created? Can machines create knowledge? How should teachers and students approach AI? This presentation provides an overview of literature related to theories of knowledge, education, and artificial intelligence and discusses practical implications for educators in K-12 and higher education.
