During the 2025 Learning Forward Annual Conference, President and CEO Frederick Brown reported the results of the organization’s informal poll about AI in professional learning. Results show that most of the 500 education leaders participating in the poll (75%) use AI to design or implement professional learning, and about half (52%) say they would like more professional learning about AI than they have received heretofore. Education leaders say they use AI in their professional lives for editing written communication (80%); analyzing/summarizing data (68%); designing learning experiences for educators (68%); searching for/learning information (68%); and other administrative tasks (66%). More than half (61%) say AI is having a positive impact on the quality of professional learning in which they participate. The poll was not a representative sample of educators but a snapshot of conference attendees who chose to participate.
