q2 i? 92% of superintendents agreed AI will change education within five years, but leaders often lack foundational AI knowledge for decisions on procurement, equity, infrastructure, and data privacy. → Digital Promise 2025
q2 i? 57% of districts have integrated AI guidelines into board-approved policies while 43% operate without formal guidance, and district adoption of generative AI rose from 22% in 2024 to 30% in 2025. → Digital Promise 2025

Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Generative AI adoption among learners and workers is outpacing institutional policy readiness, creating a gap between behavior and policy — a broader claim this one bears on
- Most surveyed college leaders report written GenAI responsible-use policies, but decision-making is largely left to educators — related
- State-led AI evaluation is critical because robust national evaluation research is lacking and local leaders weigh state and local results more heavily — related
- Few countries have defined teacher AI competencies or national AI training programmes for teachers — related
- Student generative AI use rose sharply while institutional support lagged, per a 2025 survey the article cites — related
