Abstract

This paper explores the intersection of posthumanist theory and artificial intelligence in the development of cybersecurity ethics curricula, focusing on how AI-human collaborative partnerships can inform and enhance educational approaches. Through collaborative analysis with co-authors Lowery, Poehlman, and Yowika, the study examines the theoretical and practical implications of posthumanist perspectives on curriculum development in an era of increasing human-AI interaction.

Research Significance

This collaborative study contributes to the field by:

Developing theoretical frameworks for AI-human collaboration in curriculum development
Examining posthumanist perspectives on cybersecurity ethics education
Analyzing the implications of AI integration in educational design
Proposing novel approaches to cyber ethics curriculum development

Theoretical Framework

The research integrates multiple theoretical perspectives:

Posthumanist theory in educational contexts
AI-human collaborative frameworks
Cybersecurity ethics pedagogical models
Critical approaches to curriculum development

Key Arguments

The paper advances several critical arguments:

Traditional human-centric approaches to curriculum development may be insufficient in an AI-integrated educational landscape
Posthumanist perspectives offer valuable insights for understanding AI-human educational partnerships
Cyber ethics curricula must evolve to address the complexity of human-AI interaction
Educational design should reflect the distributed nature of agency in cyber-physical systems

Pedagogical Implications

The research offers significant implications for:

Curriculum design in cybersecurity ethics
Integration of AI tools in educational development
Understanding of human-AI collaborative processes
Assessment strategies in cyber ethics education

Research Impact

This work provides foundational insights for:

Future curriculum development approaches
Integration of AI in educational design
Understanding of posthuman perspectives in education
Evolution of cybersecurity ethics education
