Artificial intelligence really is everywhere these days.<\/p>\n

Beyond shaking up workplaces and college classrooms, the tech is gaining ground among grade school students \u2014 and it’s making some parents nervous.<\/p>\n

Among1,150parents of school-aged children surveyed in Deloitte’s annual back-to-school survey, half said they were concerned their child “relies on AI too much.”<\/p>\n

That usage is outpacing the number of parents who said their child’s school provides approved generative AI tools (22%) or has established guidelines for using the tech (33%).<\/p>\n

Nearly 30% of respondents also said their children were already using generative AI tools in their schoolwork.<\/p>\n

At the same time, more than a third of parents said they are concerned schools aren’t preparing kids enough with AI skills, with one in eight parents planning to pay for AI tutoring or camps.<\/p>\n

Business Insider’s Katie Notopolous wrote in May about how her third grader and his friends “had been using Google’s Gemini on their school-provided Chromebooks to make funny pictures of poop and dinosaurs.”<\/p>\n

Several school districts are also balancing a backlash against the widespread use of video resources like YouTube against a yearslong decline in math and reading scores.<\/p>\n

One physics teacher in Canada told Business Insider last year that students’ use of AI tools had prompted him to include more analog classwork.<\/p>\n

“I’ve tried to sort of shift back toward some handwritten assignments, instead of having them do it on the computer,” Ward said. “That way, I can tell this is how they’re writing. I know it’s theirs.”<\/p>\n
