3 AI myths, busted! Abhi & Niyu encourage parents and educators to adapt to ‘The Learning Curve'
Today, many Indians are increasingly concerned about how children study. With rising exposure to technology and AI, some fear that these tools are not only hindering the development of problem-solving abilities and critical thinking, but also making kids lazy and overly dependent. Do you share the same concerns? If so, influencers Abhi and Niyu are here to bust three common myths about AI in education. They present three compelling reasons why technology and AI can, in fact, be powerful learning allies which enhance children's focus and shape a better future. Myth 1: Tech lowers academic performance Abhi and Niyu addressed this common concern by citing a survey, conducted by Intel in collaboration with the Times of India, which stated that 67% of parents view laptops as learning tools, not just as a source of screen time. Niyu pointed out that research shows that students who regularly use AI tools in their learning experience notice a visible improvement in their performance in subjects like math and science. She emphasised how these tools also strengthen critical thinking and problem-solving skills by enabling a deeper, more personalized understanding of core concepts at each student's own pace. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Abhi&Niyu | Following Love 🇮🇳 (@abhiandniyu) Abhi concluded that technology doesn't lower academic performance, misused technology does. When used effectively, it becomes a powerful tool that enhances academic performance. Myth 2: Tech is a shiny distraction To bust this myth, Abhi highlighted that the National Education Policy 2020 and NCERT's AI integration frameworks support the use of AI-powered platforms to address students' unique learning needs. It is a commendable fact that 61% of Indian educators are already leveraging these tools to reduce student stress and enhance engagement. Niyu gave an inspiring example of Dinesh Patel, a teacher from Mumbai who built Robot Shalu, an AI bot that teaches in 47 languages and boosts engagement. He built it, especially for students who are shy to interact in classrooms. Abhi further elaborated on the findings of the Intel and Times of India survey, which revealed that most parents now view technology not as a source of entertainment, but as a valuable tool for learning new skills. This indicates a significant shift in mindset, and establishes that technology can reduce academic pressure and create mental space for creative exploration. Myth 3: Technology makes students lazy This is one of the most common stereotypes that hinder a student's process of adapting to a technologically driven academic environment. Some parents still trust traditional methods, such as rote learning, as the only way to acquire an academic education. Abhi and Niyu systematically bust this myth by sharing a powerful analogy of calculators and pointing out that it doesn't make us lazy, as it's only a tool that helps us focus on advanced problems. Similarly, AI and technology enable students to dedicate their energy towards deeper and more complex learning. Supporting this, survey data reveals that 17% of parents found AI useful when it aligned with their children's learning goals, despite initial scepticism. The conclusion they share is clear - it's not technology that makes kids lazy, but poorly designed tech experiences. When used thoughtfully, AI becomes a tool for empowerment and doesn't make students passive. Abhi & Niyu on 'The Learning Curve' After systematically busting the myths around AI and technology, Abhi and Niyu appealed to parents and educators to join, 'The Learning Curve', which is a thoughtful initiative introduced by Intel in collaboration with the Times of India that will help parents and educators to navigate the world of AI education with better understanding and ease.
