Abstract: Generative AI presents a profound challenge to the existing structures and purposes of education. It forces us to reconsider not only how we teach and learn but also, more fundamentally, what education is for. This conceptual paper argues that, in order to integrate AI into education in a way that can meet the major challenges facing humanity, ranging from ecological crisis to the future of democratic societies, we must reframe education. Drawing on the nature and potential of generative AI in conjunction with educational theory, we propose a double dialogic pedagogy that recognises education as both teaching thinking through dialogue and inducting students into participation in the long-term powerful dialogues of culture. We relate this double dialogic pedagogy with AI to education for collective intelligence. This pedagogy positions AI not as a replacement for human thinking, but as a partner in expanding the space of dialogue. By articulating this theoretical foundation, we offer a basis for the future design of educational practices and technologies that can support human flourishing in an age of accelerating technological change.
