RAND: Uneven Adoption of AI Tools Among U.S. Teachers and Principals in the 2023-2024 School Year
A RAND report on the 2023-2024 school year finds that while many U.S. K–12 educators are incorporating AI—about 25% of teachers primarily for instructional planning and nearly 60% of principals for administrative tasks—usage varies significantly by subject and school poverty levels. Schools in lower-poverty areas have higher AI adoption and more support, highlighting concerns over unequal access and the need for targeted training and policies.
Stanford University: Expanding Academia's Role in Public Sector AI
Stanford HAI's brief highlights that industry’s superior access to data and computing power is leaving academia trailing in frontier AI research.
