Abstract
Education and artificial intelligence? The question forces us to ask ourselves about the limits and potential of machines and algorithms, or rather about the responsibilities of our choices, about their effects. Technological devices that are increasingly sophisticated, autonomous and integrable with our organism are simulating human capabilities. What we call artificial intelligence marks everyday life and constitutes a challenge for the future of civilization. Challenge and therefore unknowns, risks and opportunities. A new alliance between education and artificial intelligence means cultivating people's creative and civic resources in relational contexts where digital connectivity is so pervasive that it is unthinkable to interpret its logic without adequate pedagogical awareness. It is a question of educating to discernment and understanding how radical innovations, of process and product, can contribute to the common good in addressing educational needs and social fragility, inequality and poverty. A pedagogy of artificial intelligence urges us to take care of the human. It speaks to parents, teachers and those involved in design, manufacture and training of intelligent machines, encouraging them to foster the development of a responsible conscience that will give rise to fair values and actions.
This chapter was conceived in a unitary way; the first and second sections were drafted by Pierluigi Malavasi and the third by Cristian Righettini.
