While we keep talking about how AI will make new scientific discoveries and fundamentally transform research forever， one discussion is still largely missing： how we should integrate AI into education today.

I hear from many sides that chatbots have already become indispensable for both students and pupils. I finished my master's degree at a German university in 2019. Back then， I still wrote everything manually. But I honestly cannot imagine that today's students are not using ChatGPT， Claude， or other AI tools to help with research， structure， and writing. And frankly， that is a good thing.

AI is already changing education forever. There is no going back.

But especially in schools， education is still at least ideally supposed to teach students critical thinking： how to reflect on themselves， their knowledge， and the limits of that knowledge. So the real challenge is not whether AI should be part of education. It is how we integrate AI without outsourcing every act of thinking to a machine.
