The report is based on a quantitative survey conducted using the CAWI method in April 2023, covering 2,379 respondents. SPSS, MAXQDA and MIDJOURNEY data analysis tools were used. The study aimed to identify the scale of AI use in education and assess it from the perspective of students, teachers, students, academic lecturers and business representatives.

Additionally, attitudes towards AI tools, the impact of AI on the labor market and concerns related to its development were determined. The survey was organized into thematic blocks regarding various aspects of AI, using closed and open questions based on a Likert scale. Conclusions also come from conversations with experts and the “POZNAI” conference. Respondents were divided into groups according to their role in education (learners, people teaching others) and level of education (secondary schools, higher education), which allowed for a detailed analysis of their answers.

2379 people took part in the research
