"What does rigorous research actually say about how AI affects teaching and learning?
To help answer that question, [the AI Hub for Education of the Stanford University] released a new report: The Evidence Base on AI in K-12: A 2026 Review.

The full report includes:
* A map of the current research landscape
* Analysis of over 800 AI-in-education papers
* Key findings from the high quality 20 causal studies
* Implications for educators and policymakers"
