The skills that students will need in an age of automation are precisely those that are eroded by inserting AI into the educational process.

Kudos to Mita for sharing this article which connects well with the MIT study referred by James Campbell on the cognitive dept when using AI for writing tasks in the previous AI BEAT. This article is helpful as it mentions advances on how to mitigate some of these effects. The author draws attention to the larger issue they are observing: "...the current push to integrate AI into all aspects of curricula is proceeding without proper attention to these safeguards, or sufficient research into AI’s impact on most fields of study."
