Our book, "What is AI Doing to Us?: A Philosophical Inquiry into Learning, Thinking, and Being" printed in England, was released for sale on Amazon today.

We are one of the pioneering universities in global higher education when it comes to integrating Artificial Intelligence into education.

The book's foreword was written by Professor Eric Mazur of Harvard University, and it received an endorsement from Ted Mitchell, President of the American Council on Education (ACE), which speaks to the importance and value of the work.

The X post by MEF University Rector Muhammed Şahin announces the upcoming book "What Is AI Doing to Us?: A Philosophical Inquiry into Learning, Thinking, and Being," co-authored with Caroline Fell Kurban and published by Emerald on August 13.

Harvard Professor Eric Mazur wrote the foreword, while American Council on Education President Ted Mitchell authored the back cover blurb praising the work as a profoundly illuminating exploration of AI's impact on human learning and cognition.

The book draws on Heidegger's philosophy of technology to analyze how AI disrupts education and the boundaries between human thinking and algorithmic processes, as depicted on the shared cover image featuring MEF University branding.

Geleneksel eğitim yerine “Flipped Learning” ve “Akran Öğrenimi” modelleriyle dünya çapında tanınan Mazur, yapay zekanın yükselişinden teknolojik değişime kadar yaşanan kırılmaların eğitimi nasıl dönüştürdüğünü anlattı ve pedagojide artık içerikten çok "becerilere odaklanılması" gerektiğinin altını çizdi.

Prof. Mazur, 11 Temmuz, Cumartesi gerçekleşecek 2025-2026 Akademik Yılı Mezuniyet Törenimizde mezuniyet konuşmacımız olarak bizlerle olacak.

Be careful booking an @Uber ride ahead of time for a ride to catch a flight! My pre-booked ride today didn’t show up causing me to be late at the airport.
