The Fourth Education Revolution

Will Artificial Intelligence liberate or infantilise humanity?

The Fourth Education Revolution is an urgent call to educators, policy makers and parents to be aware an involved of the possibilities of AI (positive and negative) in order to shape the future of education for the ‘common interests of humanity’.

The updated second edition extends on the original, taking into account the COVID-19 pandemic. It opens and encourages debate for action around the impact of AI on education. The Fourth Education Revolution takes us from the mass teaching methods of the past era to the possibilities of conquering the challenges of inequity and lack of indiviudalised learning. The urging of this book is to actively shape our fourth revolution to preserve what makes us human: ‘being creative, having belief and loving others.’
