Children and AI: What Seemed Obvious Is Now Showing Up in the Data

⭕️ A 30-month study of 26,811 Chinese 🇨🇳 students in Grades 7 to 12 found that adopting generative AI increased homework scores by 18% and reduced homework completion time by 30%.

⭕️ But within 6 months of AI adoption, students’ monthly closed-book exam scores fell by around 20% 🔻relative to their pre-AI performance.

⭕️ If society fails to regulate how children access and use AI, we risk raising a generation that becomes increasingly dependent on machines to think for them.

⭕️ For the first time in recorded human history, technological progress could leave the next generation less capable of independent thinking than the one before it.
