AI with humans at the centre

Each generation of new technology empowers educators in a different way and Cambridge has been at the forefront of this relationship for centuries.

Transforming education and research with responsible AI

We embrace innovation and explore technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) as powerful tools for opening new possibilities in education and research. Our approach is driven by our mission: to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning and research at the highest international levels of excellence. 

We embrace technology critically, putting our mission first and drawing on our unique pedagogical and academic expertise. We believe AI should augment human capabilities, empowering learners, teachers and researchers. Our work is underpinned by extensive research and a human-centred approach that puts the needs of teachers and learners first.

Advancing assessment

AI offers potential in developing new, authentic assessment types and supporting marking processes. We are carefully researching how AI can enhance the fairness, validity, and efficiency of assessment, always maintaining rigorous quality standards.

Protecting academic integrity

We are protecting the rights of our authors, scholars and partners – putting academic integrity first.

Supporting teachers

We're developing AI tools designed to assist educators with tasks like lesson planning and generating insights, freeing up their time to focus on delivering engaging and supportive learning experiences.

Empowering learners

We are preparing learners to navigate AI and exploring AI applications, such as personalised learning pathways, adaptive practice tools (like conversational language practice), and features that enhance accessibility, helping learners achieve their goals more effectively.

In everything we do with AI, we’re putting people first. This technology can, and must, serve researchers, readers, students and teachers.

Artificial Intelligence is an enabler rather than a replacement for good teaching practice.
