Abstract

This article addresses the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on teaching and learning
processes within the context of posthumanism. The central problem of this research is that AI is
still approached from a mechanistic, artifactual perspective in educational processes. Therefore,
the objective of this study is to promote a new epistemology for using this tool, focusing on the
development of critical and connected thinking.
The methodology employed in this work used a descriptive method, starting from class
observations, descriptions, and documentation of the phenomenon under study. Regarding the
research technique, the study relied on documentary analysis of high-impact repository texts that
provided a historical, theoretical, and trend-based framework through a review of the state of the
art of AI and its impact on the educational sciences.
The article concludes that AI's role in fields such as the educational sciences tends to foster an
approach where the tool achieves a balance between resource and subject. AI is seen as an ally in
processes of innovation and the production of new knowledge, through an exercise of
participation and co-creation within the new media ecology of the digital or posthuman age.
