My Thoughts on the Rise of AI in Learning

After reading Why Kids Are Skipping School to Learn AI (Lohr, 2024), I felt a mix of surprise
and understanding. It’s honestly wild to think that students are leaving regular classes just to
learn how to use artificial intelligence tools. But the more I thought about it, the more it made
sense. AI is everywhere on our phones, in our homes, even in the tools we use to write emails or
search online. So, it’s not shocking that students are trying to get ahead by learning how it works.

What stood out to me the most was how self-motivated these kids are. They’re not waiting for
schools to catch up they’re forming their own clubs, teaching each other how to use tools like
ChatGPT, and figuring out how AI can help them with everything from homework to coding. I
couldn’t help but think, “Wow, this is the future happening right in front of us!” But at the same
time, it made me wonder: if kids feel like school isn’t offering what they need, isn’t that a sign
something’s off?

Personally, this article made me reflect on how I use AI day to day. I use it to brainstorm ideas,
correct my writing, and even plan small things—like what to cook for dinner. It’s easy to rely on
it without really understanding how it works. Reading about these students made me realize I
should take more time to learn the “why” and “how” behind these tools—not just use them on
autopilot.

If I were in charge of a school, I’d definitely look for ways to bring AI into the classroom in a
useful and ethical way. There’s so much potential, but it needs to be balanced with real guidance.
We still need human connection, critical thinking, and creativity—things AI can’t fully replace.

In the end, the article opened my eyes. I’m more motivated now to understand AI, not just use it.
And I’ll be paying more attention to how schools and workplaces react to this change—because
it’s not slowing down any time soon.
