Protecting Student Thinking in the Age of AI
EdSurge

EDITOR BRIEF
The excerpt argues that the main danger of AI in school may be students losing the habit of thinking for themselves, not just copying answers. In one English class, students increasingly say they rely on ChatGPT instead of trying to interpret literature. The author links this to ongoing struggles in reading and analytical writing.
INSIGHTS
For coding or AI learners, this is a reminder to use tools as support, not a substitute for reasoning. A good next step is to practice solving a problem first, then compare your own answer with an AI’s help.
