AI adoption in education is growing rapidly, with 85% of instructors and students utilizing AI tools for research, summarization, and study aids. Positive attitudes toward AI in learning have increased, and teachers now outpace students in usage. Despite this trend, many report inadequate training and preparation for real-world AI applications, underscoring a readiness gap in schools. Parallel workplace surveys reveal executives and Gen Z employees use AI extensively but often without formal company support, contributing to hidden 'AI shame' and uneven organizational adoption.
