AI Use in Schools Linked to Worst Student Performance Decline in 25 Years, OECD PISA Study Finds
The OECD's latest PISA assessment of 760,000 students across 91 countries reveals the sharpest decline in reading, math, and science scores in 25 years. While 86% of students now use AI chatbots for schoolwork, daily users score significantly lower than moderate users. The findings highlight a critical Goldilocks effect where weekly AI use shows promise, but excessive reliance undermines foundational skills.
