"A new report from Oxford University Press, which surveyed 2,000 UK students ages 13 to 18 in August, found that eight in 10 of the teenagers interviewed use AI tools for their schoolwork, and nearly as many turn to them for homework help. Many students said these tools are helping them "think faster" and "solve difficult questions," but experts warn that this new fluency may come at a cost."
""Today's students are beginning to think alongside machines - gaining fluency and speed in processing ideas, yet sometimes losing the depth that comes from pausing, questioning, and thinking independently," said Erika Galea, Director of the Educational Neuroscience Hub Europe and coauthor of the report. "The true challenge ahead is not mastering technology but safeguarding the depth of human thought in an age of synthetic cognition and artificial intelligence," she added."
A survey of 2,000 UK students aged 13 to 18 in August found eight in 10 use AI tools for their schoolwork and nearly as many use them for homework help. Many students report that AI helps them think faster and solve difficult questions. More than 90% said AI helped them develop at least one academic skill, while six in 10 said it harmed some abilities. One quarter said AI made learning too easy, and one in 10 said it limited creativity and reduced the need for critical thinking. Some students report becoming dependent on AI and teachers express concern.
