Morning Shot: If AI Makes It Too Easy, Are Children Still Learning?

AI is quickly becoming part of how students do their homework, from generating ideas to writing full answers. But as these tools become more embedded in everyday learning, some parents are starting to question what’s really happening beneath the surface. If tasks feel easier and faster to complete, does that mean children are actually learning more? On Morning Shot, we speak with Raghav Gupta, Head of Education for APAC at OpenAI, to unpack how students should be using AI and where the line is between support and over-reliance. We explore why effort and “productive struggle” still matter, what good versus poor use of AI looks like in practice, and how parents can guide their teens to use these tools in ways that build curiosity, confidence, and independent thinking.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
