When Meta embedded AI bots in its apps, even students in the most remote corners of Colombia gained access. But rather than boosting learning, it’s getting in the way.

Meta’s popularity has made it the first place many Colombian students encounter and use generative AI.

Teachers report a surge in AI-generated homework and essays, while student performance on exams declines.

Educators warn easy access to AI is deepening existing problems in the country, which was already struggling with low graduation and literacy rates.
