In an ideal world, the way we learn should align with the way we are taught. However, this is not always the case, and we need to rethink our approach to teaching in academic institutions such as universities to help students learn at their own pace, where innovative technology plays a vital role in accomplishing this goal. This study proposes the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as a means of teaching in academic institutions. Specifically, an AI-powered conversational bot called conversational AI bot for efficient learning (COFFEE) is designed, implemented, and will used as an adaptive learning technology. COFFEE will analyze the students’ learning habits and adjust the teaching style based on their strengths and weaknesses. Teaching and learning are closely linked to the disciplinary areas of education, behavior, and technology. By combining these areas into a conversational bot equipped with AI algorithms and access to big data, we can disrupt traditional teaching methods. This will benefit students who require special attention, such as those with severe learning disabilities who may not receive the necessary attention from instructors due to time constraints or lack of experience. COFFEE is a valuable tool that can be used in academic institutions at all levels, including primary and secondary education. It will be based on the latest advancements in AI and data science and will be designed to be feasible, reliable, and customizable.
