Teachers save time with AI. Their students may pay the price
Artificial Intelligence is promoted as a tool to help teachers create lesson plans, generate classroom materials, and provide feedback quickly, aiming to improve their effectiveness.
A randomized trial found that Artificial Intelligence used in classrooms can undermine student learning.
Students whose teachers used AI assistants felt less motivated to learn, with the effect being more significant among students taught by weaker instructors.
The study suggested that merely having access to AI does not improve teaching quality and may cause teachers to rely on AI as a crutch.
