Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven technologies are becoming part of students' everyday learning and future careers. As AI use in schools grows, educators, parents, and policymakers are working to identify the knowledge and skills students need to evaluate information, reason with data, and use AI responsibly. To better understand these perspectives, Mathematica and Data Science for Everyone surveyed parents, teachers, school administrators, and state and local education agency staff between February and March 2026.
