How to Use AI to Accelerate (Not Delay) Your Education — According to Stanford

How to Use AI to Accelerate (Not Delay) Your Education — According to Stanford

Artificial Intelligence isn’t just for writing papers or generating summaries. If used right, it can become your personal tutor, debate partner, and writing coach.

Inspired by Stanford’s latest AI in Education guide, here are four creative ways to make AI your academic advantage:

1. Use AI as a Personal Reviewer

Before submitting an essay, feed it to ChatGPT or Claude and ask: “What could I improve here?” You’ll get suggestions on structure, clarity, and even logic.

2. Debate With It

Bored in class? Try this: write down a statement from the lecture and ask the AI to argue against it. It’ll sharpen your thinking and bring the topic to life.

3. Break Through Writer’s Block

Instead of staring at a blank page, just start writing anything. Then ask the AI: “What are the key points in what I wrote?” You’ll be surprised how clearly it reflects your own thinking back to you.

4. Pause Before You Offload Work

Whenever you feel like asking AI to just “do the work for you,” pause. Ask: “Why do I want the AI to do this?” Laziness? Overload? Or a chance to reflect and learn? The awareness matters.
