About this report

A US survey comparing how K–12 educators and parents understand AI, use it and assess schools’ readiness to teach AI literacy. The report sets out the sample and weighting approach before presenting differences in familiarity, confidence, curriculum expectations and communication needs. Its emphasis on the gap between educator and parent perspectives makes it useful for school planning and engagement. Read it when designing AI-literacy initiatives or parent communication, keeping in mind that reported confidence measures perceptions rather than independently tested teaching capability.
