AI in schools is eroding pupils' skills, survey finds
Concern is growing in British schools over everyday use of AI. According to a survey, two-thirds of teachers believe pupils write worse, practise critical thinking less, solve problems less well and increasingly offload their work to neural networks. Another problem is the sense that literacy no longer matters, because voice and text tools will fix everything for the user, even in schoolwork.

According to a survey of British teachers, two-thirds of secondary school teachers link everyday use of neural networks to a noticeable decline in pupils' basic academic skills: reasoning, writing and the ability to solve problems without hints are all getting worse.
Are neural networks harming education?
The survey found that two-thirds of British teachers think neural networks have a negative effect on pupils' skills. Teachers note that children increasingly turn to AI as a substitute for their own effort rather than as a supporting tool.
