Metazoë and Artificial Continuity: Ethical and Educational Implications of Immortality through Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Abstract - This paper explores the concept of "Metazoë" as an ontological and pedagogical framework for understanding the artificial continuity that arises from the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and human existence. Through the analysis of the "Tofflerian Analytical Framework" (TAF), it examines how education is called upon to manage the "Shock of the Future" provoked by digital immortality and algorithmic traces. The adoption of "tentacular thinking" is proposed as an alternative epistemology that promotes networked relevance and "sympoietic" learning. The paper delves into the ethics of care and memory, arguing that pedagogical responsibility in the age of AI is shifting from the simple transmission of knowledge to the formation of an ethic of continuity, where the digital footprint of the teacher and student is treated as a living part of a post-anthropocentric and ecological continuum.
