However, the ultrafast development and wide spread of various types of AI projects in schools, mainly driven by corporations, and fueled by incentives that might not match well with educational objectives of student success, social-emotional learning, diversity, equity, and inclusivity. Through the lens of posthuman and contemporary theories in education, this inquiry utilized interpretive phenomenology research method to explore the practical understanding of the gap between education and technology in the impending high tech industrial revolution by deep delving into the lived experiences and expectations of intellectuals who are currently leading educators and philosophers in the United States.
