Since generative AI became publicly available in late 2022, educators, researchers, and families have been asking the same questions. Does GenAI belong in K-12 classrooms, and if so, how? JCSI’s forthcoming special issue takes up these questions by centering the people closest to the answers. Teachers, administrators, students, and parents all shape whether GenAI integration succeeds, and this issue brings their experiences, attitudes, and perspectives into focus, from GenAI literacy to the environmental and societal effects of widespread classroom use.
