IDENTITY METAMORPHOSIS: THE ROLE OF PEDAGOGY IN THE AGE OF TECHNOLOGY

The purpose of this contribution is to highlight how the educational phenomenon in our time is marked by techno-scientific imperialism that seems to have no limits. One thinks for a moment of the mighty progress of the digital and artificial intelligence that represents its highest expression. In particular, it is interesting to reflect on the belief that has led us to think that the artificial can become a model for what is natural. The idea that the natural datum can be thought of as imperfect with respect to the artificial is not at all foreign to the projects of the other revolution, no longer biological, but digital today, which is committed to creating an artificial world in which to learn to exist in the real world, according to the projects of artificial intelligence and the so-called Metaverse. Think for instance of the ChatGPTs that are based on machine learning techniques. This means that the solutions they propose to the problems posed by users derive from the statistical recombination of what they find on the web, so there is no distinction between what is produced on the web, on the same topics, by experts and by less expert or even non-experts.
