AI in school report

 

A recent global report examined students, schooling, and artificial intelligence. It is not a tool guide. It is not a classroom how-to. It is a warning, and a call to professional responsibility. The report concluded that under current conditions, the risks of AI in education outweigh the benefits. 

Brookings organizes its recommendations around three pillars that assume active educator involvement:

  • Prosper: Use AI only when it strengthens learning rather than replacing effort, struggle, or sense-making.

  • Prepare: Build AI literacy that includes limitations, bias, data use, and appropriate non-use.

Protect: Prioritize student privacy, emotional well-being, cognitive development, and safety through intentional design and governance.
