Educators are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence to streamline lesson planning and provide students with automated feedback through AI chatbots in certain school districts. While these tools aim to support teaching and learning, experts warn that the research on AI’s actual benefits for student performance remains scarce. The rapid adoption of AI in classrooms raises questions about its effectiveness without stronger evidence to back its use. Schools and policymakers face the challenge of balancing innovation with the need for rigorous study on AI’s long-term impact.
Teachers are using AI to develop lesson plans, and in some districts, AI chatbots give students feedback on their work. Meanwhile, the research around how AI can help students is extremely limited.
