“This technology is a new vector for sexual harassment and harassment, which were long -standing problems (before the widespread use of AI),” Lieir says, “and this has become a new way to sharpen it.”
According to the report, 28% of teachers who use AI for many school tasks say their school had a large -scale data disorder compared to 18% of teachers who do not use AI or use it for just a few tasks.
Laird, who has previously worked as an employee of data confidentiality at the State DC Education Agency, says he believes that the more data schools they share with AI systems, the more they risk breaking the data.
“AI systems take a lot of data, they also spit out a lot of information,” she says. “This contributes to this relationship.”
Higher-level teachers AI-related AI-related levels were also more likely to report that the AI system they used in class was unable to work as intended.
These teachers are also more likely to announce that the use of AI is damaging the confidence of the community in schools. For example, Laird says Student arrestsS She says this is especially concerned for students who cannot afford their own personal computers.
“So, if you are someone who has a personal device and do not have to use a device issued at school, you can essentially afford your personal documents and messages,” Lieir says.
Risks to students’ welfare
Students who attend schools that use AI are also more likely to report that they or a friend used AI to support mental health as a satellite as a way to escape from reality and have a romantic relationship.
When students announce that they have conversations with AI systems for personal reasons rather than school work, 31% said they used a device or software provided by their school.
“I think students need to know that they don’t really talk to a person. They talk to an instrument, and these tools have some limitations,” Liert says. “Our study suggests that the literacy of AI and the training that students receive are very basic.”
Laird says students and teachers often do not receive training or guidance to help them navigate more complex technology challenges.
For example, only 11% of the teachers surveyed said they had received training on how to answer if they suspect that the use of AI for the student was harmful to their well -being.
Teachers who often use AI are more likely to say that technology improves their teaching, saves them time and provides individualized education for students -but students in schools where the use of AI is common reports higher levels of concern for the technology, including that it makes them feel less connected.
“What we hear from the students is that although it is worth it, there are some negative effects that come with it,” Liert says. “And if we are going to realize the benefits of AI, you know, we really need to pay attention to what students tell us.”
