College Students Are More Polarized Than Ever. Can AI Help?
""Most of the dialogue programs out there aren't scalable. The power of AI is that it can provide coaching and feedback in real time without having to rely on human power.""
""The program's new AI chatbot seeks to further that mission by coaching students on actively listening to a person with an opposing view, expressing their views without becoming defensive or upset, and finding common ground.""
Higher education institutions are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence tools to improve various aspects of campus life, including fostering constructive dialogue among politically divided students. Political polarization has risen, with the percentage of students uncomfortable sharing their views increasing significantly. Colleges are partnering with organizations to promote civil dialogue, and AI is being integrated into these efforts. AI-powered platforms, such as the one developed by the Constructive Dialogue Institute, aim to coach students in effective communication and active listening skills during challenging conversations.
