Automation, Higher Education, Artificial Intelligence, Critical Education, PoliciesAbstract
This paper presents an analysis of the content of 32 articles from two special issues dedicated to the theme of automation and education in international journals. The aim was to contribute to national research, considering the large production abroad and the expansion of automation in private, for-profit higher education institutions in the country. It discusses the five main categories (human agency; machine anonymity; suppression of subjects; biases; public policies) out of a total of 12 identified topics. As well as denouncing, some of the papers indicate alternatives to the problems in context.
