Abstract

Science fiction offers speculation on the future of educational relationships with teaching machines. While much of that speculation mirrors “real” concerns regarding what counts as “real” learning with advanced language learning technologies, theorization of the affects of teaching machines for teachers and learners is vital for a holistic understanding of education. This entry explores the affects of AI teachers through the speculations of Philip K. Dick in the novel Martian Time-Slip, published in 1964. The novel’s depth of engagement with the future of teaching machine relationships with learners is then contextualized through reflections on a love for AI in Judith Newman’s To Siri with Love, published in 2017. This entry considers the implications of both works for higher education in the future and the present.
