Bernard Steigler's view on technology as being both cure and poison is even more relevant today. The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has sparked profound questions about the nature of consciousness, creativity, and the boundaries of human experience. Within art education, these discussions have been located more around the use of such things as Chatgpt and Midjourny in aiding the writing of papers and the creation of artworks. Many educators see such programmes as diminishing an authentic expression of creativity. This presentation seeks to create a defense for using AI within teaching and learning and to help create a new concept of an art school for the future. My premise is, that if we use object-orientated ontology, we can give the technology a respected place to work from. This is a realization that we are encountering a Copernicus-like revolution within the art education sector, one where humans will share their future creativity with AI. The evidence to support this will be through the embedding of AI and immersive tech within the classroom curriculum to see how the students create new forms of practice and research with AI. The research methodology will be primarily autoethnography and the subject groups will be doctorate-level art and design students.
