Publication of the study is still pending, but according to this article the use of an AI tutor in a physics course greatly increased engagement and with it the amount of learning. "'We went into the study extremely curious about whether our AI tutor could be as effective as in-person instructors,' Kestin, who also serves as associate director of science education, said. 'And I certainly didn't expect students to find the AI-powered lesson more engaging.' But that's exactly what happened."
