The Cybernetics of Learning
… in which we pass through eleven episodes in the history of cybernetics, each episode focusing on one of its perspectives on learning. We end with a coda where we define ‘cybersocial systems’ and ‘cybersocial learning’, phrases we have coined to identify some characteristics of contemporary times, when so many aspects of our lives and learning have come to be entangled with computers.

Chat GPT poses a great threat to human intelligence creativity and innocence... We humans should find a way out to keep it away from students of vulnerable age

Hi @William Cope, I liked this article very much. I read it and will use it in my thesis. I tought in the past how we act with the machine in the context of the courses in CGScholar, but since I had never read about Cynernetics (just a few excerpts), I didn't have a perspective to discuss this.
Glad you found it helpful Rodrigo - a exercise historical recovery, going back to the roots of these ideas, figuring implications for our futures.
What a pleasant distraction - I only grabbed some of the storyline but it's again obvious that we stand on the shoulders of giants. I look forward to savouring it. Cheeky but: how about a podcast for the eye-weary student?
Indeed Wendy, and in this case, we've been trying to make sense of the future by recovering a largely neglected recent past. Podcast, yes, I suppose we could... nice suggestion.
