Will artificial intelligence change the way people learn?
A strong Part 3 answer takes a position in the first clause, supports it with one reason and one concrete case, and then names where it stops being true. Around a minute.

Answer it yourself first
Record your own answer first. A model you have read three times comes out with a flattened rhythm, and examiners are trained to hear exactly that. Read it afterwards for the vocabulary and the shape, not to memorise the sentences.Substantially, and I think the biggest change is that explanation becomes abundant. Anyone can now ask for a concept to be explained four different ways at any hour, which is something only a private tutor could previously provide, and that is genuinely democratising. The risk is fluency without understanding. A convincing explanation feels like learning, and it is not, because the work of struggling with something is where the understanding actually forms. If that struggle is removed, you get people who can follow an argument and not construct one. What I would expect, and hope for, is that assessment shifts towards things that have to be done live, defending an idea out loud, which is harder to outsource and a better test anyway.

Straight answers
How long should my answer to “Will artificial intelligence change the way people learn?” be?
About 60 seconds. Long enough for the answer plus a reason or an example, short enough that the examiner can get through the rest of the set.
Should I memorise the model answer?
No. Record your own version first, then read the model for the shape and the vocabulary. A memorised answer changes rhythm and pace noticeably, and examiners are trained to hear it — it usually costs more than the better wording gains.
Does sayit score this answer?
It scores what a microphone can observe: an estimate from fluency and pronunciation only — not an official band, and not a mark for vocabulary or grammar.
