Public Opinion on Banning AI Tools Use in Schools (2024)

The data reveals a clear "hardening" of attitudes toward AI in the classroom. Within a single year, support for an outright ban on AI tools in schools has increased from 29% to 36%. Conversely, the proportion of the population that once opposed a ban has dropped to 37%, leaving the global public almost evenly split. A significant 27% of the population remains undecided. The survey covers 30 countries: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Romania, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Türkiye, and the United States.
