#ClassroomAI

The latest Gallup and Walton Family Foundation poll has revealed a striking transformation taking place in classrooms across the United States: six out of ten K-12 public school teachers now use artificial intelligence tools to help grade papers and develop lesson plans. But as these digital assistants free up valuable time and streamline workflows, a majority of educators warn that the pervasive use of AI could be making students less independent, potentially dulling their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This debate over AI’s dual-edged impact is gaining global relevance, with far-reaching implications for Thailand’s rapidly digitalising education sector.
