I think the traditional way of
learning with trial by error and slowly building your expertise and developing judgment is going to go away when we’re continually defaulting to AI to come up with a solution. In today’s classroom, it’s really
important that we help the likes of Betty to develop that human agency and think about how we keep students motivated and not too over-reliant on AI so they exercise and build on developing their judgement. Classrooms should be
collaborative laboratories where students are having interactive discussions and building on each other’s ideas and learning how to build consensus. At Goodnote, we really think
about how to facilitate those learning and teaching moments. I think classrooms will need to encourage and foster this type of learning that involves more meaningful interactions, versus an assessment based education system.
LEARNING IS INHERENTLY DIFFICULT. IF AI IS REALLY GOING TO MAKE LEARNING ‘MUCH EASIER’ HOW DO WE ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO MAKE THAT EFFORT? Professor Rose Luckin: One thing I am sure about is that this moment in time is supremely important. It’s a moment where we as humans have to recognise that we need to get smarter. This is not a time to dumb down. We now have these AI technologies and what we absolutely must do is realise that we are not finished works, our intelligence hasn’t finished evolving. We can be a lot more intelligent
than we are now and we need to be, because we now have these tools. That means we have to work harder, it’s going to be more strenuous mental effort and that’s quite a hard message to convey –

particularly, when you have tech companies suggesting AI is going to make things effortless. Sorry, no – learning is never effortless, it’s difficult and to a certain extent it should be. The things I have valued most in my learning have been the hardest. We have to find ways to motivate people to want to engage in that strain. One of my greatest worries is
that we dumb ourselves down and inappropriately offload important activities to AI and then we won’t be able to do it anymore. We need to make the right decisions about that and realise that we have to be smarter, and actually that’s great, because we can become smarter with AI tools.
