The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in schools should be banned due to the risk of cognitive decline in students. This opinion was expressed by 17% of teachers who participated in a survey conducted by the V.S. Lednev Institute of Content and Teaching Methods (part of the FGBU "Russian Academy of Education").
Neural networks are regularly used by 20% of educators, 37% — sometimes, another 22% of respondents wanted to try AI capabilities, and 7% categorically refused these technologies.
The study notes that almost half of teachers consider AI responses unreliable. 51% of respondents fear that neural networks can harm a child's cognitive abilities. This refers to the deterioration of attention, memory, perception, thinking, language, imagination, and spatial orientation.
Overall, teachers have a positive attitude towards AI technologies (61%). The main advantage of neural networks is considered to be the ability to quickly perform various tasks and save time (63%).
The survey was conducted in August 2026. More than 900 teachers of grades 1-11 from urban and rural schools participated in it.
