Abstract: AI is here to stay, though there are still limitations regarding opinions. This work surveyed opinions of various stakeholders (SH) towards the employment of AI in learning, as reported by 90 subjects in this survey sampled from different domains (students (24%), teachers/lecturers (24.4%), school administrators (5.6%), and parents/guardians (7.7%). Respondents’ opinions about the employment of various AI platforms recorded a mean acceptance value close to 4. Tools for accessing AI showed the most employed devices as smartphones (87.9%). A cross-sectional study using the data from the devices SH showing a significant association with a median acceptance score of 6.0. The large submission of SH indicated use of AI for research, summarizing, and material reporting. Moreover, the mean (5.62 ± 1.52) and median (6) value of SH for the use of AI for assessment and evaluation also showed a high level of agreement. The fear of AI plagiarism (34%) was cited as the main concern of the SH, with the majority (40%) reporting that they had received no formal training in AI. The confidence of the SH was low to detect biases and misinformation in AI and low (3) to agree with the existence of a guiding policy on the ethical use of AI in their respective schools. Despite this, the respondents reported a high preference (61.1%) to employ AI for teaching and learning.For the appropriate use of AI in education, an appropriate usage policy for AI, along with the relevant resources and training, is needed.
