AI in the classroom isn’t neutral. It changes how students think, trust, and connect.

If we want responsible AI in education, we have to study the harms with the same depth we study the hype.

What’s missing? The social side.

Equity, belonging, and collaboration barely show up in the data even though they’re what determine who feels welcome in CS and who walks away.

Only about 1 in 5 papers from 2024 even mention harms.
And most discuss hypothesized harms, not ones that were observed or measured.

It’s time for research that examines what’s really happening in classrooms, not just what we think might be.

Most papers focus on benefits such as faster feedback, better explanations, higher grades.

But the downsides are real too:
• Shallow learning
• Over-trust in wrong outputs
• Less collaboration
• Uneven access
