AI is Undermining Student Learning
From ChatGPT completing homework to AI-powered cheating on exams, technology is creating a generation of students who can't demonstrate what they actually know. It's time for a True Test of Knowledge.
The AI Problem in Education
Artificial intelligence has created an unprecedented challenge for educators. Students are increasingly using AI tools to complete assignments, write essays, and even cheat on exams—without actually learning the material. The result? A growing gap between what students appear to know and what they can actually demonstrate.
- Students using AI to complete homework and assignments without learning
- Widespread cheating on take-home exams and online assessments
- Declining critical thinking and problem-solving skills
- Difficulty distinguishing student work from AI-generated content
- Over-reliance on technology diminishing foundational knowledge
- Teachers struggling to assess true student comprehension
