Brown Professor Warns AI Is Making Students Dumber After Cheating Scandal

Brown University professor Roberto Serrano warns that AI is making students dumber following a cheating scandal. Serrano observed a significant drop in scores between a take-home midterm and an in-person final exam, leading him to suspect widespread AI cheating. He describes the data as a wake-up call for educational institutions, emphasizing that society cannot choose to become idiots by relying on these tools instead of developing critical thinking and academic skills.
