OECD study links AI use among students to lower academic performance

A 2025 OECD study involving over 760,000 15-year-old students across 91 countries has identified a correlation between artificial intelligence use and lower academic scores. The research indicates that the poorest performance was observed among students who use AI to summarize required reading materials or to draft essays.

While students using AI as a support tool showed slightly higher performance than non-users, this advantage was most pronounced among those who received specific training in the technology. Conversely, students who never used the technology due to socioeconomic factors presented higher scores.

In the United States, public sentiment regarding AI remains largely negative. According to an index by Axios and CivicScience, the sentiment score reached 41.8 out of 100 in October. While there is positive expectation regarding economic growth, there is significant negative perception regarding the technology's impact on job creation.
