The pervasive integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has sparked concerns about its impact on students’ creativity. A recent survey revealed that nearly half of parents fear AI could hinder their children’s ability to generate original ideas. Educators echo this sentiment, observing that reliance on AI tools may diminish critical thinking and problem-solving skills. To counteract these effects, experts advocate for a balanced approach that incorporates creative storytelling and imaginative play into learning. By fostering environments that encourage originality and flexibility, we can ensure that technological advancements enhance rather than stifle student creativity. (nypost.com)
