When I say "enabling," I am referring to students. Students are using artificial intelligence to do their schoolwork for them. This seems like a problem that could hurt these students in the future when they are not learning, only asking a computer to do the work for them.

According to Preply, "Today, AI tools are becoming everyday learning companions for students across the U.S., from helping brainstorm essays to solving equations. But speed isn’t everything. True learning takes more than just quick answers; it takes guidance, empathy, and real understanding, and students in some states are missing out more than in others."

AI Poll Results and Highlights from New Jersey:

• "AI use score" ranks 15th highest in the U.S.

• 40% use it daily (4th highest in the U.S.)

• 80% use it weekly

• Students use it for 182 minutes per week, on average
