However, the near-term negative impacts are centered on equity and dependence. Rural schools often lack the necessary digital infrastructure and connectivity, exacerbating the existing digital divide. Furthermore, widespread availability of tools like ChatGPT risks fostering academic misconduct, where students over-rely on AI to complete ass...
