SOCIOLOGIA DA INFÂNCIA: um olhar crítico sobre os benefícios e desafios da inteligência artificial na educação

Abstract

This article emerges from dialogues within the Child and Childhood Study Group (GEPCI) at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul in Aquidauana/MS. It presents a study rooted in the Sociology of Childhood, highlighting the subjectivity and actions of children, thus considering childhood as a social structure. This research critically underscores the influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education, emphasizing its benefits and challenges. Positive aspects include personalized learning, teacher efficiency, and global access to education. However, ethical concerns arise, such as algorithmic bias, the loss of human interactions, and issues related to the privacy of academic data and their use of this tool. The analysis emphasizes the need for balanced approaches, considering ethical and socio-economic issues, and illustrates the importance of a responsible evolution in integrating AI into education. Additionally, it advocates for the theoretical approach of the Sociology of Childhood to re/evaluate concepts related to children and their childhood in contemporary society.
