The main goal of this presentation is to consider the role of imaginaries in shaping concrete practices and understandings of educational AI. By analysing some examples of educational AI and their connection to the dominant imaginaries, we demonstrate that some aspects of education are not accounted for in mainstream AI tools. We conclude by discussing alternative imaginaries.
