SUMMARY:Linguistics Colloquium Series: On Conscientização: Paulo Freire\,
  Artificial Intelligence\, and the Re-linquishment of Agency
LOCATION:West 82 Food Court\, 1 Park Pl\, Athens\, OH 45701\, USA
DESCRIPTION:The Linguistics Department of Ohio University presents Dr. Jose
 ph Pecorelli discussing: "On Conscientização: Paulo Freire\, Artificial 
 Intelligence\, and the Re-linquishment of Agency" via Teams. Join the meet
 ing here\n\nAbstract: In the midst of the proposed Fourth Industrial Revol
 ution (Schwab 2017)\, educators find themselves contending with artificial
  intelligence and AI-based technologies designed to perform tasks that tra
 ditionally require human cognition and intelligence. The advent of AI has 
 proven particularly problematic for humanist educators\, as they have disc
 overed that students\, spurred by the political right’s attacks on the r
 elevance of the humanities\, have utilized Gen-AI apparatuses to complete 
 their coursework in languages\, literatures\, and the social sciences. In 
 doing so\, they have caused and will continue to cause irreparable damage 
 to their empathy and emotional maturation\, as well as their abilities to 
 problem solve creatively and think critically. In the present article\, I 
 explore how theories by Paulo Freire assist us in reasserting the value of
  the humanist educator\, as well as impede the abstraction that AI has cau
 sed with respect to humankind’s conscientization and relationship to the
  human and more-than-human world.\n\nDr. Joseph Pecorelli is Associate Pro
 fessor of Portuguese and Spanish at the University of North Georgia and an
  alumnus  of the Ohio University MA Applied Linguistics program.
