PISA 2025 Results Highlight Complex Role of AI in Student Learning

The OECD's PISA 2025 report revealed that artificial intelligence use is widespread among 15-year-olds, with only 14% reporting they never use AI chatbots for schoolwork.

Students who did not use AI for tasks like summarising texts or preliminary research generally outperformed frequent users in science across OECD countries.

Average reading performance across OECD countries declined from 489 points in 2015 to 461 points in 2025, alongside drops in mathematics and science.
