Generative AI closed three quarters of an education-based performance gap during assisted work, but effort shaped what carried forward

Guillermo Cruces, Diego Fernández Meijide, Sebastian Galiani, Ramiro H. Gálvez, María Lombardi

arXiv working paper

In a preregistered randomized online experiment with 1,174 Argentine adults, GPT-4.1 assistance raised workplace-style problem-solving performance for both education groups and reduced the baseline gap from 0.548 to 0.139 standard deviations. Lower-education participants retained a modest gain after AI was removed, but stronger follow-up performance appeared when intensive assistance was paired with sustained human effort.

Computers & Education

In a large experiment involving 1,368 undergraduate and graduate students across 65 university course sections, a 90-minute asynchronous GenAI learning module improved knowledge of how the technology works, prompt-engineering performance, fact- and source-checking, and self-efficacy. It did not improve critical evaluation of bias, showing that short foundational training needs deeper practice for responsible judgment.

Experimental evidence on the learning impact of generative AI: gains persisted when students used it for explanation rather than automation

Zara Contractor, Germán Reyes

arXiv working paper

A randomized, proctored experiment reported that undergraduate access to off-the-shelf generative AI raised immediate factual and conceptual test performance by 0.27 standard deviations and that the gains persisted one week later. The working paper also finds a consequential usage pattern: students who used AI to explain concepts showed stronger delayed gains than students who used it to automate drafting.

Product news: GPT-5.6, Claude Opus 5 and Gemini study notebooks make task matching an educational design decision

OpenAI, Anthropic, Google for Education

AI Product and Learning Report

Product news: OpenAI cut GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna prices while speeding Sol, Anthropic introduced Claude Opus 5 for longer-running knowledge work, and Google announced Gemini study notebooks that adapt lessons from learner goals and materials. The shared education question is not which model is best in general, but how a school matches a task to capability, cost, speed, evidence and human review.
