New reporting finds a widening gap between frontline AI use and institutional guidance: most university employees report using AI tools, but many are unclear how their institutions want those tools deployed. The survey highlights uncertainty among staff about governance, acceptable use and training. K‑12 data echo the pattern. EdWeek Research Center found teacher AI use nearly doubled to 61% in 2025, driven by embedded features in popular ed‑tech and growing professional development. Both reports flag the need for clear policies, continuous training and assessment frameworks to convert AI pilots into reliable instructional and operational practice.
