US · Published Nov 3, 2026
• A recent survey by the National Parents Union (NPU) reveals that 77% of parents want K-12 public schools to teach students how to use AI tools effectively, while 85% support teaching AI safety.
• However, 81% of parents also want schools to avoid purchasing unproven technology.

Impact & Risks

The survey underscores the need for a balanced approach to integrating AI in education. While parents see the potential benefits of AI, they are concerned about its misuse and the lack of teacher training. Without proper safeguards and education, there is a risk of students misusing AI tools or becoming overly reliant on them, potentially hindering their learning and critical thinking skills.
