The most important educational question is not how quickly students can become productive with AI. It is how carefully we structure their development so that technological capability expands without diminishing the human capabilities education exists to cultivate.
AI can accelerate research, generate alternatives, visualise ideas and reduce routine work. But education is not simply about producing better outputs more efficiently. It is about developing perception, judgement, independence, imagination and responsibility. If assistance arrives too early, it may improve the work while bypassing some of the experiences through which those capabilities are formed.
