Outsourcing Thinking: The Emerging Risks of AI in Education

With each passing day AI advances at an astonishing rate, surpassing many of our previous expectations.  We now find it being integrated into nearly every aspect of our daily lives. In just a few short years it has transformed how we work, communicate, and learn. However, its growing influence on education is raising serious concerns among students and educators alike. Students are relying on AI tools at an increasing rate for assignments, tests, and more. This has the potential to undermine critical thinking and reduce meaningful human interaction. While the full impact of AI on education has yet to be realized, its challenges are becoming impossible to ignore.
