The risks of AI in schools outweigh the benefits, report says
A Brookings Institution study highlights the risks of using generative AI in education, warning it can undermine children's cognitive development and emotional well-being, while also offering benefits like language acquisition support and task automation for teachers. The report emphasizes that AI should supplement, not replace, human teaching, and warns of increased educational divides and emotional challenges due to AI's inherent sycophancy and inaccuracy in free tools.
