Prediction 1: AI Adoption in Schools

AI will continue to increase in schools through grassroots collaboration, but significant adoption will require government funding and action planning. K-12 public education systems, with their decentralized nature and multiple pressing priorities, lack the resources and time to effectively implement AI. The end of funding grants and the absence of clear models and resources from federal and state governments further hinder AI implementation. However, there are bright spots with trailblazing schools, districts, and organizations leading the way in exploring and implementing AI solutions to address educational challenges despite limited resources and guidance.
