ABSTRACT

Artificial Intelligence has the potential to be an important part of education governance. It is already being built into everything from business intelligence platforms to real-time online testing. In this paper, we aim to understand how AI becomes, and forms, a legitimate part of authority in contemporary education governance in what we call the automated education governance assemblage, that incorporates technology companies and AI-supported products used in education. We focus on EduTech Australia – an education technology trade show in Sydney – as a way to look at: (i) how the different aspects of automated governance are connected at EduTech, including the relations between different participants, companies and products; and (ii) how the automated governance assemblage works to legitimise and constitute EduTech as a policy space and site of new authorities in education governance.

摘要

人工智能有可能成为教育治理的重要组成部分。它已经被构建到从商业智能平台到实时在线测试的所有事物中。在本文中，我们旨在了解人工智能如何成为并形成当代教育治理权威的合法组成部分，我们称之为自动化教育治理组合，该组合包含技术公司和用于教育的人工智能支持的产品。我们专注于 EduTech Australia——悉尼的一个教育技术贸易展——以此来看待：(i) EduTech 自动化治理的不同方面如何相互联系，包括不同参与者、公司和产品之间的关系；(ii) 自动化治理组合如何使合法化和将 EduTech构建为教育治理新权威的政策空间和场所。
