In The Cyborg Has Entered the Classroom, David Lane examines the profound philosophical and pedagogical consequences of allowing artificial intelligence to shape human learning. This is not a simple narrative about machines “helping” teachers; it is a meditation on how technology alters the very conditions of knowledge, authority, and personhood. Lane situates the classroom as a site where epistemology and ethics collide—where the Socratic encounter with the teacher is refracted through the logic of algorithms, and where the line between human understanding and machine output begins to blur. What does it mean to cultivate wisdom in an age when memory, reasoning, and even creativity are shared with non-human agents? And can education remain a humanist endeavor when the very act of inquiry is mediated by machines that neither sleep nor forget?

At once a warning and an invitation, this work challenges us to rethink education as a space of hybridity, where the future of learning depends less on resisting the cyborg and more on understanding what it means to teach—and to be human—when the cyborg is already here.
