Abstract

The increasing integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into educational systems has introduced new challenges concerning pedagogical clarity, ethical sensitivity and learner autonomy. This chapter grounded in social constructivist and critical pedagogical approaches explores how core human capacities such as empathy and critical thinking must be carefully safeguarded within learning environments to protect psychological and physical well-being. Rather than reducing education to automated efficiency, it emphasizes the importance of real social presence, ethical transparency and dialogic human interaction in teaching practices.
