The black box effect and the philosophy of artificial intelligence in pedagogy

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is a deciding factor not only for science and tecnology but for our everyday life as well. In my study I reach the philosophical and pedagogical aspects of the topic and try to give a short introduction of the basic questions of the philosophy of AI which can be useful in the praxis of pedagogical explanations. Furthermore I examine the issue from the perpectives of teachability, knowledge transfer and humanities. I go through a pedagogical problem which does not root in pedagogical skills but in a philosophical phenomenon, namely the black box effect. To avoid this I recommend a metapedagogical viewpoint. The aim of this is an interdisciplinarity-based understanding of complex pedagogical processes.
