Özet
This paper analyzes the use of artificial intelligence in education from a philosophical perspective, addressing a gap identified by institutions including the European Parliament and the United Kingdom Department for Education, which have called for such examination without yet receiving a satisfactory scholarly response. The study aims to articulate the philosophical questions that must be engaged before artificial intelligence can be responsibly integrated into education, organized around three dimensions: the anthropological, the pedagogical, and the semantic. Methodologically, the study proceeds through a hermeneutic-interpretive conceptual analysis rather than an empirical design, drawing purposively on institutional reports, the philosophy of technology, the philosophy of educational technology, and conceptual literature on artificial intelligence. The main results are three philosophically grounded questions: how artificial intelligence may change human beings, how necessary its educational use is, and how interaction with it takes part in the creation of sophisticated meanings in people’s minds, together with provisional orientations toward each. The main conclusions indicate that responsible engagement with artificial intelligence in education requires prior philosophical clarification across all three dimensions, that historical patterns of uncritical technology adoption raise the evidentiary bar for claims of pedagogical necessity, and that whether artificial intelligence can itself generate genuine meaning remains open, although people already construct meaning through their interaction with it.
