Republican legislation passed last year created two new student loan repayment plans.

and allows borrowers a little more flexibility in getting out of default.

But those new plans won't be available till July 1st.

So the department says it will delay collections so borrowers can benefit from the big changes.

The study comes from the Brookings Institution's Center for Universal Education, and it included interviews with students, parents, educators, and tech experts in 50 countries, as well as a review of hundreds of research articles.

The authors found that generative AI can help teachers save time,

and could make access to education more equitable, but that those benefits don't currently outweigh the harms.

The study found that when students use AI to do their work for them, it can actually stunt their cognitive development.

And the use of chatbots, designed to always agree with users, is stunting kids' social and emotional growth, making engagement with AI feel preferable to the messier give and take of human engagement.

Republicans have overhauled a lot, from repayment plans to how much Americans can borrow in the first place.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration unveiled a proposed agreement to shut down the Biden-era SAVE repayment plan.

Next year, the roughly 7 million borrowers in SAVE will likely have to move to a new plan.
