AI in Education
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we learn and how we teach. It is becoming a powerful tool that can improve education in a lot of meaningful ways, but it can also cause a lot of harm. From creating personalized learning experiences to helping schools run more efficiently, to students using LLMs to cheat on assignments, AI is already making a huge difference in education.
The Rise of AI in Education
​AI technology has been around for a long time, but its use in education is still fairly new. More schools and universities are starting to bring AI tools into the classroom to help improve learning.
​
These tools can be incredibly helpful. They offer smart study aids, instant feedback on quizzes, and flashcards that adjust to what you struggle with most. Some even create personalized study plans that evolve as you learn, making it easier to stay on track and understand the material.
​
But while these advances are exciting, they also come with new challenges. AI makes it easier than ever to cheat. With just a few words, students can generate full essays or solve complex problems, making it harder to tell what is genuine work and what is not.​
​
By recognizing both the risks, such as AI making it easier to cut corners, and the benefits, like helping students truly understand the material, we can create thoughtful policies and tools that prevent misuse while supporting deeper learning.
