According to the AI-2027.com study in the next two years AI will excel faster than humans thought possible. What we now think are blundering androids trapped in our phones will soon be superhuman workers. 

The AI 2027 study predicts that AI will be thinking 57 times faster than humans. Even with the comparatively slower AI we have now students have been seen using AI to finish assignments or cram for tests. It is expected that by the time AI reaches such high levels most, if not all, students will be using AI in schools. 

Oliver Coyle a freshman at McPherson High School believes that AI doesn’t actually help students learn, and that it just completes work for them faster.

“I feel like I would use it to have it do my homework,” Coyle said, “but that’s just because sometimes I forget to.”

It’s expected that by late 2026 AI will be successfully working in fields that humans are currently working in, from service workers to software engineers according to the AI 2027 study. With teenagers and young adults being the primary worker for these minimum wage careers, it is not surprising that they can and will be replaced without a second thought. Coyle on the other hand doesn’t believe so.

“I think students are fine,” Coyle said, “because I don’t think they would trust robots to cook.”

It is possible that in the near future schools may be pressured by funders to adopt AI systems, and fully integrate it into classrooms. It is important that schools give the decision to teachers to put AI into classes.

“I’d be for it,” Mrs.Hall said “Until they start putting AI robots in front of classrooms then I might say something.”

It is a reality that people need to accept that AI will be a part of our future, and people should be educated and prepared.
