abstract:

The abstract offers a sociological reflection on the educational transformations generated by artificial intelligence, with particular attention to processes of cognitive adaptivity and the redefinition of teaching and learning practices. The contribution critically examines both the promises and ambivalences of AI in educational contexts, exploring its epistemological, relational, and institutional implications. It advances an interpretative framework that integrates technological innovation with pedagogical responsibility, emphasizing the need for an educational governance capable of combining innovation, inclusion, and critical awareness.
