ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The ever-growing artificial intelligence industry has been gaining traction in schools.

According to Campus Technology, a study from Quizlet shows AI usage from high school and college students/teachers jumped from 66% in 2024 to 85% in 2025.

"We are kind of with AI where we were when we got the first computers... we're teaching people how to adapt to the technology," Professor of English Dr. Kaye Adkins said. "At some point, we are going to have a breakthrough that will be like the breakthrough with the screens and graphic interfaces we have now."
