Overview

• The White House recently gathered Amazon, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic to plan U.S. school programs offering incentives, free courses and certifications for teachers and students.
• Usage data point to mainstream classroom adoption: UNAM reports 88% of students and 83% of teachers in Mexico use generative tools, while a U.S. study finds 85% of undergraduates used AI and 25% submitted fully AI‑generated work.
• Corporate surveys show a value gap as McKinsey says over 75% of firms use generative AI yet only about one in five reports clear financial impact, with many initiatives failing to scale.
• An MIT report finds internally built pilots often stall before production, whereas external partnerships raise success rates, underscoring the need for data readiness and workflow integration.
• Stakeholders push for safeguards and skills: Google rolls out regional training including a one‑million‑person program in Mexico, educators warn about the digital divide and assessment integrity, and Geoffrey Hinton cautions about manipulation risks.
