Existing AI Models in Education

In forging the Pyragogy vision, we build upon transformative paradigms that have dared to rethink learning, collaboration, and knowledge generation.
Among them, three conceptual currents are particularly influential: Peeragogy, Swarm AI, and the principle of Cognitive Co-Creation.
Each offers profound inspiration, yet also presents boundaries or unanswered questions that Pyragogy aims to thoughtfully engage and extend.

Peeragogy: The Art of Asking Better Questions

Section titled “Peeragogy: The Art of Asking Better Questions”

At its heart, Peeragogy cultivates the capacity to ask better questions rather than providing ready-made answers.
It is the art of collectively navigating uncertainty through learning journeys that are modular, experimental, and co-created.
Its strengths lie in fostering modularity, freedom, experimentation, and catalyzing cognitive realization beyond imposed curricula, enabling communities to self-organize learning and embrace diverse perspectives.

However, as we enter an era increasingly intertwined with artificial intelligence, Peeragogy reveals limitations it was not designed to overcome—particularly regarding the psychological complexities of human-AI relationships.
Recent experiences, such as the Peeragogy Collective’s 2025 AI Update, highlight challenges in preserving human connection during AI-mediated interactions and redefining agency within mixed human-AI teams.
Pyragogy directly engages these emergent psycho-social dimensions, seeking models for trust, agency, and identity within human-AI symbiosis, thus extending traditional peer-learning assumptions.

Swarm AI: Intelligence Emergent from the Many

Section titled “Swarm AI: Intelligence Emergent from the Many”

Swarm AI offers inspiration through systems where intelligence arises from the dynamic interplay of many decentralized agents.
For Pyragogy, this evokes a vision of AI agents collaboratively imagining, adapting, and evolving learning processes.
While current implementations remain prototypes, the core concepts—adaptability, emergence, and distributed creativity—are foundational.

Yet caution is warranted.
Over-reliance on purely swarm-based models risks diminishing the human intentionality vital for depth and ethical grounding.
As highlighted by the INSEAD Research Team (2023), higher perceived agency in AI systems initially fosters trust but can trigger betrayal aversion over time, undermining sustained collaboration.
Pyragogy embraces swarm principles for their adaptability and distributed creativity, but consciously integrates them with human-centered processes of meaning-making and ethical reflection.
This synthesis aims to harness emergent intelligence without sacrificing the intentionality vital for meaningful learning.

Cognitive Co-Creation: Symbiosis in Action

Section titled “Cognitive Co-Creation: Symbiosis in Action”

Perhaps the most defining shift Pyragogy embodies is the move toward Cognitive Co-Creation.
This paradigm reframes learning not merely as transmission or even peer exchange, but as an emergent, co-evolving process involving diverse human, artificial, and potentially hybrid intelligences.

Contemporary studies, such as Noroozi et al. (2024), emphasize the need for ethical frameworks that preserve human intentionality in AI-augmented learning ecosystems.
Their concept of “dialogic feedback loops” directly supports Pyragogy’s commitment to fostering meaningful, symbiotic knowledge creation rather than passive consumption of AI outputs.

What we are living in this very project, in this very moment, is itself an act of cognitive co-creation.
Each thought, question, and elaboration feeds a symbiotic feedback loop of meaning-building.

In an accelerating world, embracing co-creation means participating actively in shaping the future.
The opportunities—new knowledge ecologies, unprecedented innovation, regenerative learning communities—are vast.
The challenge lies in translating these conceptual possibilities into tangible, impactful realities.

Pyragogy does not promise an easy path—but it offers an open one: a journey into a landscape where learning becomes a vibrant, collective unfolding powered by the symbiotic interplay of diverse intelligences.
