This research introduces Daoism as an alternative philosophical framework to address the philosophical underpinnings of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education. It posits that traditional Western intellectual traditions have predominantly shaped current educational debates on AI, and proposes a new perspective through Daoist concepts like "Dao nature," "self-cultivation," and "Zhenren" to examine fundamental questions about reality, educational epistemology, and ethics in an AI-mediated educational landscape.
Why it matters
The rapid integration of AI across sectors necessitates a robust and diverse philosophical foundation to guide its development and application, particularly in areas like education. Exploring alternative philosophical frameworks can lead to more comprehensive, ethically sound, and culturally nuanced approaches to AI governance and strategy, ensuring broader societal benefit and mitigating unforeseen risks.
Key insights
- AI's rapid iteration and transformative impact necessitate deeper philosophical reflection in education.
- Current philosophical debates on AI in education are largely shaped by Western intellectual traditions.
- Daoism is proposed as an alternative philosophical framework for rethinking AI in education.
- Classical Daoist concepts can address fundamental questions concerning reality, epistemic aims, and ethical action in AI-mediated education.
- The proposed framework aims to bring Daoist philosophy into dialogue with contemporary AI in education scholarship.
