The use of artificial intelligence is growing, but it's unclear how much it is expanding human knowledge. Peter W. Cookson Jr. discusses the potential of AI use for learning. He suggests that humans learn by making connections in ways that AI cannot replicate. The kinds of experiences that promote these connections require students to experiment and explore in ways that AI does not. Forward-thinking educators have encouraged such innovations as project-based and inquiry learning to promote deeper, more human learning. AI can enhance these learning experiences, but it cannot replace human connections.
