OECD Reports Decline in Reading and Math Scores Linked to AI Use Among Students
Recent OECD data from the 2025 PISA assessment reveals a significant decline in reading and mathematics scores among 15-year-olds in wealthy countries, with reading dropping by 28 points and math by 22 points since 2015. The study also highlights that frequent use of AI chatbots for schoolwork correlates with lower scores, with daily users scoring notably below peers who do not use such tools. These findings account for socioeconomic factors and reflect concerns about learning effectiveness and technology's impact on education.
