RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 How to Imagine a New Community from Science Fiction: A Pedagogical Dramaturgy of Silence, for a Slow Education A1 González Novoa, Andrés A1 Perera Méndez, Pedro K1 Pedagogy, Science fiction, Trans-humanism, Digital ethics, Machine education AB Europe has just established the first regulation for artificial intelligences. Large technologycorporations and private educational institutions are already imagining neural networks educatingus. Has anyone stopped to think about who, how and for what purpose we humans are going toeducate machines? The Spanish critical pedagogy research team (PEDACRI), after participating ininternational conferences on digital education, robotics, ethics in the metaverse and cartography ofhyperreality and participating in various publications on the challenges of pedagogy and ethics inthe technologisation of educational processes, reflects in this essay on the challenges and questionswe need to ask ourselves to imagine the post-human or trans-human community to come. Reviewingworks coming from philosophy and those plays, series and films that address the future and therelationship between humans and machines, we analyse the opportunities and threats that canhumanise machines or programme them as soulless weapons, which can civilise us or return us to astate of barbarism. The word robot, let us not forget, is derived from the Polish word roboca, whichmeans “slave”. Will we be able, as the replicant in Blade Runner wonders, to programme silence?What can philosophy and pedagogy contribute to the ethical programming of algorithms?
