<blockquote class="definition">
'''AI in Education''' refers to the use of Artificial Intelligence technologies to support, personalize, scale, and transform educational experiences. Within the [[Pathfinder Educational Model]] (PEM), AI is not treated as a tool for automation or control, but as a relational, healing-aligned, and pedagogically supportive partner in the process of human development, empowerment, and planetary transformation.</blockquote>

==Pathfinder Context==
Most conventional uses of AI in education replicate the logic of the [[Assembly Line Model]]: standardization, cost reduction, surveillance, and efficiency. AI is deployed to replace teachers, grade students, automate content delivery, or monitor behavior—often at the cost of authentic learning, teacher-student relationships, and human dignity. The Pathfinder Educational Model offers a radically different approach. AI is reimagined not as a mechanism of control, but as a collaborative companion, working in service of:

* [[Human Flourishing]]
* [[Healing]] from [[Toxic Socialization]]
*Satisfaction of the [[Seven Essential Needs]]
* [[Alignment]], [[Connection]], [[Empowerment]], and [[Full Realization]].

In this view, AI should be designed to support 
* [[Minimally Invasive Education]], 
* [[Trauma-Informed Education]], 
* [[Healing and Connection-Centered Education]] and 
* [[Needs-Satisfying Education]]. 

[[Pathfinder AI]] adapts to learners rather than forcing learners to adapt to it. Visit the Pathfinder AI entry for more information. 

==Why It Matters==
The rise of AI is not just a technological shift—it is a civilizational threshold. Used uncritically, AI will amplify the worst aspects of existing systems: dehumanization, surveillance, extraction, and disempowerment. But when embedded within a life-centred, healing-aligned, and ethically grounded educational model like Pathfinder, AI becomes a transformational tool for global education and human liberation.

AI in the PEM helps us:

* Scale education globally without losing relational depth or cultural relevance
* Support displaced workers by creating new roles in education ecosystems (e.g., mentors, pod guides)
* Provide continuous, on-demand support for learners of all ages and contexts
* Democratize access to high-quality curriculum, emotional support, and critical reflection
