Abstract

Drawing on recent surveys, institutional responses, and emerging evidence from neuroscience, it is clear that the impact of artificial intelligence on learning depends less on the technology itself than on how it is used. Judicious engagement with AI can scaffold learning, enhance accessibility, and cultivate new literacies, while indiscriminate reliance risks cognitive offloading, demotivation, and a loss of critical thinking. Similar risks exist for faculty, for whom over-reliance on AI may lead to deskilling and reduced pedagogical depth.
