Homework is increasingly being done with artificial intelligence: more than half of schoolchildren are already using neural networks in their studies. They don't just look for answers — they are trusted to explain topics, analyze problems, and even check work.
According to a study by the Institute of Public Opinion "Anketolog", 73% of students use neural networks to search for information. Every second one asks AI to explain a complex topic in simple words (58%) or to analyze the solution to a problem step by step (58%). Another 46% trust neural networks to check independently completed assignments.
When preparing for tests, 72% of schoolchildren repeat the material from textbooks, 43% use neural networks, 39% watch video lessons, 22% study with tutors. When doing homework, 73% do their lessons themselves, 63% use ready-made homework (GDZ), 61% use neural networks. At the same time, AI is mainly used to search for information and explain topics, and not just to get ready-made answers.
Analysts surveyed middle and high school students to understand why they use artificial intelligence. The main reason is the speed of getting an answer (72%) and the ability to explain the material so that it becomes understandable to a particular student (67%).
Schoolchildren also appreciate the opportunity to receive several explanations (40%), a convenient dialogue format (29%), and note the cost savings compared to tutors (27%).
Among the most popular neural networks are ChatGPT (69%), Alisa AI (68%) and DeepSeek (52%). At the same time, artificial intelligence has not yet become the main tool for preparing for exams: 60% use specialized websites, 53% use video lessons, 47% use textbooks, 39% use tutors, 36% use courses, and only 27% use neural networks.
At the same time, 88% of schoolchildren would like to analyze assignments with the help of AI directly on the OGE and EGE websites.
