In recent years Artificial Intelligence has been heavily integrated with education. Today we ask the question of whether this has benefitted the children, or quite the opposite, with anecdotal experience.

Is asking an AI chatbot a question actually learning, or is artificial intelligence making it easier for students to skip the learning process altogether?

In this episode of The Frontline Network Podcast, high school students James and Logan explore the growing impact of AI in education and how artificial intelligence is changing the way students learn, research, study, and complete schoolwork.

Drawing from their own experiences as students, they look back at educational technology like IXL and ST Math and compare those tools with today's AI-powered learning platforms. They also discuss Google NotebookLM, AI chatbots, online research, and the difference between active and passive learning.

Can AI help students understand difficult concepts? What happens when students rely on ChatGPT and other AI tools to complete homework? And are students actually retaining information when an AI chatbot can provide an answer in seconds?

James and Logan also discuss AI hallucinations and misinformation, critical thinking, memory and learning, the possibility of AI teachers, and why knowing how to use artificial intelligence responsibly may become an increasingly important skill for students.

As two high schoolers growing up alongside rapidly changing technology, James and Logan offer a firsthand look at what AI in schools actually looks like from a student's perspective.
