A Deloitte back-to-school survey finds that many parents are concerned about how much AI is being used by children at the primary school level. Across the responses, half of parents say they worry their child “relies on AI too much.” The reporting notes that AI is increasingly present beyond workplaces and university settings, moving into earlier education, and that this shift is shaping parental attitudes. Both outlets frame the findings as part of growing attention to children’s exposure to AI tools and the potential dependence that parents perceive. The survey results reflect a broad level of concern rather than a view limited to specific groups, and they highlight the extent to which AI has entered everyday learning environments. While the sources emphasize parental worries, they do not provide evidence in these accounts about actual levels of children’s AI use or any direct outcomes. Instead, they present the survey as an indicator of parents’ perceptions during the start of the school year.
