We should talk more at school: Researchers call for more conversation-rich learning as AI spreads

University of Cambridge
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Schools will need to become more talk based as AI makes it increasingly easy for students to bypass traditional forms of learning and exposes the limits of exams, researchers argue in a new study. The paper, by two researchers at the University of Cambridge, suggests that Generative AI is likely to push teaching into becoming more conversational, with chatbots acting as partners that introduce students to new ideas and even impersonate historical thinkers to stretch their thinking. It highlights a wave of emerging tools already prompting this shift, including AI systems that provoke students’ critical reasoning and a new “Moderator Bot”, currently being developed at Cambridge, that helps pupils switch perspectives and engage more deeply with one another’s arguments.
