The rise of AI in education makes us ask fundamental questions about ourselves. What is human nature, and what is education? In this series with Teachers College doctoral students Ahmed Almadlouh and Jensen Okimoto, we will investigate the nature of AI and how learning shapes us.
The first session will analyze Heidegger’s concept of enframing, as presented in his 1954 essay “The Question Concerning Technology,” which explores the implications when “man’s ordering attitude and behavior” are at stake.
On Wednesday, October 28, at 12 PM, join Ahmed Almadlouh and Jensen Okimoto (Columbia) for this first lunch session, reading Heidegger’s “The Question Concerning Technology.”
