In an article for eCampusNews, Steven M Baule (Winona State University) argues that science fiction provides a valuable framework for exploring the opportunities and challenges that generative AI poses for postsecondary education. The author suggests that science fiction can reflect contemporary issues and facilitate discussions on contentious topics in a more abstract, less confrontational way. Baule recommends several stories to guide classroom discussions, including I, Robot, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, and Neuromancer. “Literature, in this sense, becomes not just a tool for imagination but a crucial framework for critical thinking and meaningful discussion,” concludes the author.
