Eco-technological hybridization between cybernetics and technosymbiosis. Avenues for pedagogical investigation

Abstract

From its origins, cybernetics has established connections among a multiplicity of human and non-human subjectivities through a series of constructs centered on the notion of information. The emergence of new-generation artificial intelligences has prompted further theoretical trajectories that focus on eco-technological assemblages in which multiple subjectivities endowed with distributed and diffuse agency come to the fore. This article will examine several points of interest arising from such scenarios, particularly their potential to offer an alternative to purely anthropocentric, reductionist, and instrumental views of technology. At the same time, it will raise a set of dilemmas and critical issues, highlighting their educational significance, especially with regard to the urgency of developing new forms of responsibility grounded in radical alterity.
