Abstract

This paper aims to consider the human dimension of education for the sustainable development of society. A systematic approach in value analysis of social institutions should be used as a research methodology. The education for sustainable development should be based on the latest technical achievements, but these achievements themselves are not an end in itself. This education aims to develop humans as a person and humanity as a species in the face of increasing technological and other threats to humankind’s very existence. Simultaneously, technologies turn out to be ambivalent – they can serve both the destruction of humankind and a significant deterioration in the conditions of its existence, or the development of humankind and the improvement of these conditions. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a prime example. AI could be used as a resource for education, but only until AI itself began to use people receiving education as its resource. Researchers should theoretically ground the decision on the degree of participation or limitation of AI in modern education, technically prepared by programmers and other AI practitioners. Still, such a decision should also be discussed and agreed upon with the common public’s participation. Professionals should calculate the risks of such a decision, but the final decision can only be made on a democratic basis and consider liberal and social values.
