German schools are increasingly using AI tools in the classroom, notably the "Study Buddy" program based on ChatGPT. While concerns exist about students abusing AI tools and losing vital skills, some educators advocate for their use, arguing that technology is essential for modern education. Students report benefits like increased engagement and personalized support from AI. However, challenges remain, including ensuring chatbot responses are appropriate for student understanding and managing inaccuracies in AI-generated information.
The high school uses an AI program called "Study Buddy", which is based on ChatGPT and designed to support students in the classroom. Students quoted in the report suggest that the tool is helpful: one notes that AI has endless patience for answering the same question in different ways to help them understand, another suggests they feel more engaged while interacting with the chatbot.
Experts have voiced concern that AI dependence is robbing young people of the chance to develop crucial skills for themselves. On the other hand, there are educators who insist that AI has a place in the classroom.
