AI in schools called a 'Wild West' as research lags

Original: Welcome to the 'Wild West' of AI in schools: Research is scarce, but experiments abound https://www.npr.org/2026/09/28/n

NPR reports that American schools are rushing to experiment with artificial intelligence tools in classrooms even though rigorous research on their effects on learning remains scarce. Educators and districts are adopting AI for tutoring, grading and lesson planning largely without clear evidence, prompting comparisons to an unregulated 'Wild West' and renewed calls for careful studies and guidance.

Why now: Schools are rapidly adopting AI tools amid growing debate over untested technology in education.
