The Automation Trap: Unpacking the Consequences of Over-Reliance on AI in Education and Its Hidden Costs
Abstract
With the growing presence of artificial intelligence (AI) in classrooms, its influence on how students think, learn, and interact deserves close scrutiny. However, its increasing integration and accessibility raise concerns about AI dependency among students. Excessive reliance on AI may weaken essential cognitive skills, including critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, which are crucial for academic and professional success. Moreover, diminished human interaction with teachers and peers threatens the human aspect of education. This chapter critically examines the risks of AI over-reliance, emphasizing its long-term consequences on student development. Left unchecked, this dependency may lead to surface-level learning and hinder the cultivation of independent thought. The normalization of AI-generated outputs may also blur the line between authentic learning and algorithmic convenience. It highlights the shift from AI as a supportive tool to a potential source of dependency and advocates for a more balanced, human-centered integration of technology in education.
