Abstract

Artificial intelligence technology has created new opportunities for aligning educational systems with technological advancements to enhance and deepen learning. A prominent example of this is the use of "interactive conversational intelligent robots" or "chatbots." These tools aim to engage with students in a conversational manner, establishing a friendly and consultative interaction. They assist students in solving academic problems, clarifying scientific ambiguities, providing social-cultural guidance, and offering academic and career counseling. Due to these capabilities, chatbots have rapidly gained attention within academic environments despite their relatively short existence, and are increasingly utilized in universities.
This paper provides an overview of the functions of conversational intelligent robots, focusing on their primary applications in higher education systems. It also examines the experiences of various universities around the world in adopting this technology. By identifying the opportunities arising from AI-enabled tools, this study offers policy and practical recommendations for effectively leveraging this technology in Iranian universities.
