The Myth of Personalization:A Critique of Education in the Age of AI
Artificial intelligence-enabled"personalized human development"is becoming the dominant discourse in current educational narratives,but this technologically-enabled myth of personalization is deeply false,violating the existential premise of the"lifeworld"as the foundational construction of personalization.The immateriality,anti-practicality,weak sociality,and de-complexity of the digital world empty the child of the roots of individualization.The"immaterial"leads to the"rootlessness"of the child's life,making it im-possible to build the"web of meaning"of difference,making it difficult for real education to take place;the ever-dissolving sensual object empties out the practical space of the here and now;the accelerating one-sid-edness becomes the basis for individualization.The accelerated one-sidedness becomes the biggest enemy of personalization,and the continuously weakened practical ability dissolves the possibility of personalized de-velopment;everyone is an"island"of learning,and there is no"other"and"we"in the digital ring struc-ture.A community without"we"has no future;uncertainty is replaced by certainty in education,diversity by unipolarity,openness by closure.An education that points to an authentic personalized development of the child must emphasize the fundamental value of education in a phenomenological retraction,which requires a deep understanding of the relationship between the human being,technology and education,including the embodied relationship"(human-technology)-education",It calls for a deep understanding of the relation-ship between human beings,technology and education,including the embodied relationship of"(human-technology)-education",the hermeneutic relationship of"human-(technology-education)",and the it-al-ienation relationship of"human-technology(education)".The relationship between human-technology and education,the hermeneutic relationship between human-technology and education,the importance of the pri-mordial significance of the real world for education,i.e.,the guarantee of the material base of education,the defense of real social relations,and the value of direct experience;and the intervention in the diversity of educational realities with a mindset of complexity,i.e.,the acceptance of the uncertainty in education,the preservation of the diversity of education,and the expansion of its openness.
