Student surveys from 2025 show that most learners now use AI tools regularly, but many cannot clearly distinguish between smart, acceptable use and use that counts as cheating or harms their learning in the long run. The goal of this pillar is to give you a practical framework: when AI use is allowed and helpful, how to leverage it for summarizing, time management and research, and how to avoid mistakes like copy‑pasting answers or letting the model “do your thinking” for you.
1. Main Ways AI Is Used in Education Today
Recent reports show that students mostly use AI for four things: summarizing long readings, generating ideas for papers, improving writing quality and organizing study schedules. Teachers, on the other hand, use it to design activities, create quizzes and automate some grading tasks. This pillar and its satellites explain how to take advantage of these use cases without crossing ethical lines or violating your school’s policy.
