Studia Humanitatis
Human formation for the age of artificial intelligence.
What should an educated and capable person be able to understand and do in an age of intelligent machines?
A contemporary framework
The objective is the formation of capable people.
The Renaissance studia humanitatis cultivated the capabilities needed for intellectual, professional, and civic life. The modern framework joins those humanist practices with technological understanding, evidence, institutional knowledge, and practical judgment.
Education should care about both the quality of the work and the development of the person.
Seven domains of formation
The contemporary studia humanitatis
Language, Rhetoric, and Interpretation
Historical Judgment
Knowledge, Evidence, and Inquiry
Artificial Intelligence and Technological Understanding
Human Purposes, Agency, and Judgment
Institutions, Economics, and Collective Action
Art, Literature, and Human Creation
The educational test
AI-assisted learning has developmental value when the learner emerges able to understand, judge, create, communicate, or act more capably because of the experience.
The AI Humanist
Human formation integrates capability.
The AI Humanist should emerge able to reason independently, evaluate evidence, understand and use artificial intelligence wisely, exercise judgment about purpose and delegation, understand institutions and accountability, communicate and create with clarity, and contribute knowledge to intellectual, professional, institutional, and civic life.
