Posthumanist Challenges and Opportunities for Teachers in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence in education is reshaping teaching and learning, presenting both opportunities and challenges for educators. This study examines the posthumanist implications of AI adoption, focusing on how teachers negotiate their professional identities, pedagogical practices, and ethical responsibilities in AI-mediated classrooms. While AI offers transformative potential—such as personalized learning, administrative automation, and data-driven insights—it also introduces challenges, including teachers' limited understanding of AI systems, their exclusion from AI design processes, insufficient professional development, and unresolved ethical dilemmas.
