Biography
Jérémie Bouchard is Professor in the Faculty of Humanities at Hokkai Gakuen University, Japan.
'For some time, Jeremie Bouchard has been arguing with admirable zeal and rigour for a humanist conception of language education which is philosophically founded upon the principles of critical realism. Here, in a single volume, he brings together his compelling critical thinking by means of an incisive critique of Generative AI and its effects upon language practices and learning in higher education. Along the way, Bouchard takes the reader on a mind-expanding tour of the human condition, including discussions of post- and anti-humanism, technological determinism, and social realism and language education. A profound and timely contribution which will be of interest to anyone concerned with language production in the era of Generative AI.'
