Four out of every 10 teenagers are likely to use artificial intelligence (AI) to complete their homework instead of handling their own research and accumulating English and grammar skills, even though most know it’s probably wrong.
According to a study released by the nonprofit Junior Achievement this summer, 60 percent of the 13- to 17-year-old teens surveyed viewed their use of AI as cheating. In response, teachers, some tech savvy, some not, are either throwing their hands up without a counterstrategy or are requiring their students to turn in essays that are handwritten with a device some of their students have never used in secondary school or college—pencils.
