Tomáš Lintner on ČT1: three-quarters of Czech high schoolers use AI daily — half of them against school rules.
Our colleague Tomáš Lintner appeared on Czech Television (ČT1) to discuss the growing role of AI in Czech schools, presenting findings from the ai:dolescence research collection.
According to the research, roughly three-quarters of Czech high school students use AI tools daily — to help with homework, learn languages, and explain more difficult material. About half of them, however, use these tools in ways that violate school rules, and a smaller but notable share has even used AI to create deepfake content targeting classmates. The findings come from a unique study conducted at the Department of Educational Sciences, Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University.
Tomáš spoke about the research in several programmes:
SΛTIS members Tomáš Lintner and Markéta Žáková, together with colleagues from the MEDIS:ON project, have published a new article in Education and Information Technologies. Based on data from 2,307 Czech seventh-graders, the study finds that relying on GenAI instead of building understanding is negatively linked to achievement — while frequency of GenAI use itself shows no positive effect.
From March 9–20, the SATIS Lab hosted Mauritz Cartier van Dissel, a PhD candidate at the Complexity Science Hub in Vienna. Mauritz worked with Tomáš Lintner on a joint paper on large-scale social network analysis. The visit also included a shared dinner and a walk through Brno with CSH colleague Giacomo Zelbi.
