AI and Learning

UNESCO’s “Beyond the Loop: Reclaiming Pedagogy in an AI Age” argues that the popular “human-in-the-loop” model gives AI too much control, reducing teachers to overseers of machine decisions. Daniela Hau calls for a pedagogy-first approach, where educators, not algorithms, shape learning. AI should support teaching, not drive it, and educational language must shift from engineering metaphors like “optimisation” to human-centred ones focused on relationships, context, and meaning.
