Russian schoolchildren lose cognitive skills using AI for homework
Russian schoolchildren are experiencing a decline in cognitive functions due to excessive use of AI for homework, particularly in grades 5–8, with experts warning of impaired memory, concentration, and independent thinking.
Consensus
- Approximately one-third of schoolchildren show reduced cognitive functions.
- The issue is especially pronounced among students in grades 5–8.
- Children use AI to copy answers instead of engaging in independent thinking.
- Frequent AI use leads to reduced information analysis and memory retention.
- Students are replacing their own cognitive processes with AI-generated responses.
- Older students (10th–11th grade) are less affected and use AI less frequently than younger ones.
