Background
Multiple studies have been published proving that AI gives people less opportunity to practice essential skills such as problem solving and critical thinking.
As of 2025–26, 86-92% of students use AI for their studies with 6 in 10 UK schoolchildren feeling that AI has negatively impacted their skills in relation to schoolwork.
In the UK, 33% of student papers were flagged for plagiarism, even though only 10% were primarily AI-generated.
Not to mention the negative effects on the planet.
