Based on insights from Current Opinion in Pediatrics, this discussion dives into the benefits of AI-driven personalized education—and the unintended consequences that come with it. We’ll unpack concerns about reduced problem-solving skills, rising plagiarism, and the psychological risks of exposure to deepfake technology.
