Researchers Debate AI Impact On Learning

In a Harvard Gazette "Harvard Thinking" podcast, researchers and educators discuss how generative AI is reshaping classroom learning and instruction. They cite a survey of 7,000 high school students in which nearly half reported relying on AI too much and over 40 percent failed when trying to limit use. Panelists emphasize preserving foundational skills, fostering self-regulation, and designing age-appropriate AI scaffolds to enhance learning.
