AI Risks in Children's Education Outweigh Benefits, Report Shows

A new Brookings Institution study warns that excessive use of artificial intelligence in schools could cause irreversible harm to children's development. Experts call for a cautious approach to technology integration in education.


AI Risks in Children's Education Outweigh Benefits, Report Shows

A recent report from the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution indicates that the risks currently outweigh the benefits. Nevertheless, teachers point to some limited benefits. The study included interviews with students from kindergarten to 12th grade, their parents, teachers, and technology experts in 50 countries, concluding that heavy reliance on artificial intelligence can undermine children's fundamental development. The harm already caused is immense, though it is repairable. 'Generative AI has become an essential part of daily life, but its use in the education of children and adolescents raises many questions.'
