Science Education has always been bound up with technology. Advances in technology mean that we need to re-think not only how we conduct education but also what education is for.
The new generative AI challenges many of the current goals of education. I argue, with examples, that this should return us to valuing the importance of dialogue more. Dialogues supported by AI can help teach students how to think better about science and help induct them into participation in the long-term global dialogue of science.
