KEATS AI learning and revision assistant
King's College London's KEATS AI pilot handled over 4,000 chat sessions
Problem
Students were using public AI tools, while faculty wanted academic support grounded in approved teaching materials and assessment rules.
Approach
King's and ICS.AI piloted a learning assistant across 2 MSc Neuroscience modules. Students could ask questions with citations to authorised content and generate revision quizzes. The system ran in the university's Azure environment and redirected requests to produce assessed work.
Results
Takeaway
The reported usage showed student engagement; it did not establish an improvement in examination results.
