I argue: Learner-centred pedagogies about AI can be intellectually oppressive

In ELM’s “I argue” series, Hugo-Henrik Hachem from Linköping University questions the emphasis on promoting critical thinking through learner-centred approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) literacy. He argues for an AI-centred pedagogy that shifts the pedagogical focus from students’ levels of thinking about AI (critical or naïve) to their attention and motivation to study AI.
