IBM Study Reveals K-12 AI Adoption Outpacing School Readiness, Launches New Fellowship

A new U.S. study commissioned by IBM found a significant gap between the rapid adoption of AI in K-12 classrooms and schools' preparedness to manage it. In response, IBM launched the K-12 AI Leaders Fellowship to equip school leaders with knowledge and tools for responsible AI adoption. The survey indicated that 76% of middle school and 73% of high school educators use AI weekly, but only 20% have received extensive AI training.
