Episode 23: AI-Personalized Learning - Theoretical Discussion

Ready for a theoretical approach to AI-based personalized learning. An academic paper, titled "AI based personalized learning in ‘The Diamond Age’: Artificial subversiveness and human feeling machines", published April 2025 in Educational Philosophy and Theory journal, examines AI-driven personalized learning through the lens of Neal Stephenson's science fiction novel, The Diamond Age. The author, Gideon Dishon, analyzes how the novel portrays the potential of AI to cultivate subversive individuality but also highlights the technology's limitations and the crucial role of background experiences and human emotional connection. As you listen, consider how can this theoretical approach applies to prelicensure nursing students as they navigate the rigor of a nursing program using an AI-based personalized learning approach and how can nurse educators support this approach?
