ScienceStudents who use AI generally score worse at school

OECD PISA data shows that, after adjusting for socioeconomic status, students who generally avoid AI outperform users in science. Moderate, purposeful use can provide a slight benefit, especially when students are trained to assess AI-generated information. The study draws on 2025 data from more than 760,000 15-year-olds in 91 countries.
