New YouGov polling finds that Americans are divided in their views on how advances in artificial intelligence (AI) will affect the K-12 education system, with slightly more saying they will have a very or somewhat negative impact (36%) rather than a positive impact (25%).
Younger American adults are far more optimistic about AI’s effects on education than older Americans are. Adults under 30 are more likely to say AI will have a positive (39%) rather than a negative (22%) effect on K-12 education, while people 65 and older are more than twice as likely to say the effect will be negative (44%) rather than positive (18%).
