Artificial intelligence is part of our everyday lives. It makes our smart devices work, and you may already be using an AI program in school. Some educators worry that chatbots could prevent students from learning on their own. Should students use AI to do their school assignments?

AI may change how students learn, but some fear chatbots could encourage cheating. Yet, safeguards improve, and chatbots may guide students through questions, not just give answers. They can help teachers to make data-driven lesson plans for personalized learning. With AI tutors, students get 24/7 support, making sure nobody falls behind. AI is a lasting part of education—adapt or be left behind!

Schoolwork should teach kids skills and develop their brains. While technology can be a useful tool, kids must independently become competent at basic tasks. This is why kids learn how to do computation, even though calculators have existed for a long time. And it's why schools teach handwriting and spelling when most adults write using computers. Kids' brains need to be exercised to develop like their bodies. AI may benefit adults, but it would be harmful to children if they used AI before they mastered the building blocks of education.

AI usage improves critical thinking and problem-solving, which are essential for kids. It's important to teach students about AI's limitations—biases, misinformation, and potential misuse. If done well, integrating AI education in schools can improve society.
