Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly seen as a transformative tool in K-12 education, offering benefits such as personalized learning and enhanced teaching resources. This study examines the perceptions of K-12 educational leaders regarding AI adoption, focusing on its benefits, challenges, and the strategies needed for successful implementation. A cross-sectional survey of leaders from diverse districts revealed optimism about AI’s potential, alongside concerns about data privacy, bias, and unequal access to AI technologies. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive teacher training, clear policies, and strategies to bridge the digital divide. Recommendations include promoting AI literacy, phased implementation, and stakeholder collaboration. Future research should explore AI's long-term impact on student outcomes and address ethical concerns.
