Overview

• President Donald Trump signed a spring executive order promoting AI in the classroom with a goal of training teachers to integrate the technology across subjects from an early age.
• Microsoft pledged more than $4 billion for AI education, and the American Federation of Teachers announced a $23 million partnership with Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic that launches a National Academy for AI Instruction in New York City this fall with plans to reach 10% of teachers in five years.
• District adoption is expanding, with Miami’s school system rolling out Google’s Gemini to high school classrooms and Iowa making an AI reading tutor available to all elementary schools statewide.
• Teacher use is rising, with nearly a third reporting weekly use last school year, some saving five to ten hours per week, and tools like MagicSchool AI generating rubrics, worksheets and report‑card comments for millions of educators.
• Concerns persist as students refine tactics to evade detection, a 20‑state study reports lower permitted access in rural and lower‑income schools, and Houston ISD confirmed some classroom images were AI‑generated using Canva after parent complaints.
