This book is about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the future of education, concentrating on the intersection of AI with learning theories and social justice. The text focuses on the central question, what is it going to take to develop new educational environments that uphold a humanistic spirit within a cybernetic future?  

The first half of the book establishes common discourse by introducing learning theories and AI, identifying areas of intersection between the two. Later sections of the book focus on current and emerging issues of ethics, bias, data management, and algorithmic misuse. The text is complemented by vignettes written by over 25 social scientists and computer scientists that extrapolate from current educational systems and practices to envision education in the year 2051. The book is an opportunity for readers to contend with what is necessary to create educational systems that centralize social justice beliefs and practices, while integrating transformative technologies. Education and Artificial Intelligence (AI) 2051: The Duty of Educational Leaders Without Borders (ELWB) provides a critical space for a needed discussion on the role of why and how learning and leadership theories should be at the heart of A.I. and educational tools of the future.
