Randomized trials show AI tutoring raises test scores, writing for students does not

AISummary

Randomized trials using the older GPT-4o model found that access to AI raised test scores, with a smaller gain still present a week later. Gains persisted for students who used AI as a tutor but faded for students who had AI write for them. Ethan Mollick says the effects were positive across all experiments.

Randomized trials with old GPT-4o: "AI access raises test scores, and a smaller gain persists a week later. Gains remain for students who use AI as a tutor (“augmentation”) and fade for students who have AI write for them (“automation”)"

Across all experiments, positive effects.
