Artificial intelligence and innovation in educational processes: for what?

The article examines the contradictions of capitalism and the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an instrument for reproducing social inequalities and intensifying labor exploitation. The analysis situates technological hegemony as an expression of the structural crisis of capital and problematizes the advance of technocentrism and technological solutionism in education. It discusses how public policies and the emerging legal framework in Brazil, influenced by neoliberal logic, confront the structural precariousness of schools and deepen historical inequalities. Grounded in historical-dialectical materialism, the study proposes a counter-hegemonic teaching praxis aimed at the critical and collective appropriation of technology by teachers. This movement seeks to overcome alienation and to restore the autonomy and recognition of teaching workers as class subjects.
