Summary: The National Parents Union conducted a survey on parents' perspectives on the use of AI in education, revealing that many parents lack information about AI's role in their children's schooling. While a significant portion of parents are open to AI's potential benefits for education and deem AI literacy important for their children’s future careers, concerns remain about the readiness of schools to incorporate AI effectively. Initiatives like TeachAI aim to bridge this gap by educating both parents and educators about AI literacy and its potential impact on education. Overall, the majority of parents surveyed see the potential benefits of AI in online tutoring and initial homework feedback, but have reservations about its use in grading assignments and writing essays.
