The Dark Side of EdTech: When Learning Becomes a Liability A new study from the Centre for Economic Policy Research reveals that Chinese students who used artificial intelligence to complete their homework saw an initial boost in scores, with 18% higher marks.
However, this benefit was short lived: within six months, exam scores plummeted by 20%, with college entrance exams faring no better. The trend is not unique to China or the education system as a whole.
The widespread adoption of generative AI tools among students has created a paradox where efficiency and accuracy are valued over actual learning.
