The Handshake Ep. 18 – Humanity’s Blind Spot:The AI Revolution We’re Ignoring with Dr Daithí Ó Murchú

Are we sleepwalking into an educational revolution that could fundamentally reshape human consciousness? In this riveting dialogue with Dr. Daithí Ó Murchú on ‘The Handshake’ we dive deep into the controversial waters of Agentic EdTech and AI Singularity in education. After all, “Education shapes who we become – it’s a lifelong journey.” From questioning whether AI-driven personalisation is truly empowering students or subtly eroding their cognitive independence, to examining how Agentic EdTech might be the Trojan horse of transhumanism – this conversation challenges our assumptions about the future of learning. Host, Teresa Hand-Campbell poses piercing questions: Are we creating technological dependency under the guise of educational advancement? Who really controls these “ethical guardrails” we’re supposedly building? As Gen Alpha becomes the first fully AI-integrated generation, are we witnessing education’s evolution or the systematic dismantling of human learning? Join us for an eye-opening exploration that goes beyond typical EdTech discourse to examine the philosophical, spiritual, and existential implications of AI in education. This isn’t just about new tools – it’s about the future of human consciousness itself. #AIEducation #EdTech #FutureOfLearning #AISingularity #EducationalInnovation #HumanPotential
