Deep Tech

In an era where machine intelligence becomes the invisible architect of our learning spaces, REW(aI)RED! dares to ask: Have we misunderstood the meaning of learning? This book is not a guide on how to implement AI in education, nor is it a cheerleading banner for innovation. Instead, it is an act of critical defiance—an intellectual and cultural audit of how AI is reshaping, and perhaps even replacing, human learning in ways that are not only problematic but deeply dehumanizing, particularly in Southeast Asia.

Written from the perspective of a former corporate researcher, Alfred Boediman dissects the intersection of artificial intelligence and education with logic and local pragmatism. The title itself—REW(aI)RED!—is a philosophical provocation: Are we being transformed to learn better, or are we being reprogrammed to obey?
