World Bank study warns generative AI usage weakens actual cognitive learning

Evidence cited by the World Bank suggests that the unrestricted use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) can negatively impact student learning outcomes.

While AI assistance can improve the quality and grades of classwork and homework submissions, it simultaneously weakens the core understanding and retention of the material. This learning gap results in a noticeable decline in students' subsequent examination scores, highlighting a major policy concern for nations like India currently integrating AI into education systems.
