Jonathan Haidt Calls AI a 'Neutron Bomb for Education'

Original: Jonathan Haidt: AI Is the 'Neutron Bomb for Education' [video]

Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt argues that generative AI could devastate education, likening its impact to a 'neutron bomb' — leaving school structures standing while hollowing out the learning inside them. The remarks, made in a recent interview, add to Haidt's ongoing warnings about technology's effects on young people, following his influential critique of smartphones and social media in schools and childhood development.

Why now: Haidt is a prominent voice on tech's harms to youth, and schools are urgently debating how to handle AI as student use surges.
