A thought-provoking book on what university higher education should be like in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). It proposes a new educational model, focused on a novel discipline -humanics- which, among other things involves fostering and acquiring certain literacies and cognitive skills, such as technological and data analysis literacy, higher thinking skills (critical and systems thinking), cultivation of the humanities, etc. He also gives some suggestions on how to teach according to this new model.
The author has a hopeful vision of education in the current context -flooded with AI- and remarks the opportunity for man to contribute what only he can do: the properly human, who is creative, artistic, social, empathetic, who works in teams, who is able to judge with good judgment the result of an AI algorithm.
Joseph Aoun is a philosopher and suggests that with "the extension of technology into all aspects of life has very human ramifications that we must address through politics, economics, law, philosophy and especially ethics, disciplines that must evolve with the growth of artificial intelligence."
For all that said, the book transmits good values. Highly recommended for university professors. It may inspire in a certain sense a new way of teaching.
