Namaste readers!
After taking a small 10-day pause to recharge and reflect (you know, thoda sa mindful break is important too 😌), I’m back with a blog that’s not just trending today in the U.S., but also holds deep meaning for anyone following how education is changing with AI..png "Student challenges traditional teaching methods with AI in a modern U.S. classroom scene")
“AI isn’t just helping students cheat. It’s exposing a broken system.”
This line is going viral in the U.S. right now — it’s from economist Tyler Cowen, and honestly, it makes sense.
In America, schools are seeing students use AI tools like ChatGPT, Quillbot, and others — but instead of only banning them, people are now realizing something deeper:
The problem isn’t that students are using AI — the problem is that the system didn’t adapt.
The Real Problem: Not AI, But the System
For the past few years, tools like ChatGPT, Quillbot, Perplexity, and others have entered classrooms. At first, everyone panicked—“Students are using AI to do homework!”
But now, educators and experts are realizing something deeper:
Students are using AI because the system is rigid, outdated, and frankly, boring.
Classes focus too much on rote memorization, standard tests, and less on creativity or real-world skills. AI didn’t create this problem—it just highlighted it.
And let’s be honest—yeh problem sirf America ki nahi hai. India mein bhi students often feel the same.
What’s Happening in the U.S. Right Now?
Here’s what’s shaking up the U.S. education scene in 2025:
1. AI Literacy in Schools
Yes, schools are now introducing AI education from middle school level! Students are being taught how to use AI, not just told not to.
2. Tech Leaders Demand Change
Big names like Google, Microsoft, Meta have signed a joint letter asking U.S. schools to make AI and computer science mandatory subjects by 2026.
3. Students Are Already Ahead
From generating notes to making study quizzes, students are using AI to learn better and faster. The system is trying to catch up.
This shift is creating an urgent need for reform—and this is the right time to talk about it.
Earlier, I also wrote about how Indian students are adapting to AI tools like ChatGPT. Read that blog here.
