The State of AI Adoption Across K-12, Higher Ed, and Government In 2026

A data-driven look at AI adoption across K-12, higher ed, and government in 2026, with insights from public-sector leaders.

Where are school districts, colleges, and government agencies actually adopting AI? In this webinar, EdTech Insiders and Starbridge present a first-of-its-kind 2026 AI Adoption Report built from millions of real-world datapoints: meeting minutes, strategic plans, and FOIA requests on the AI tools agencies are truly using. Paired with candid perspectives from superintendents, provosts, and city leaders, this session shows where AI is gaining traction, where it’s stalling, and where public-sector leaders are actively looking to partner with private companies next.

• Where AI adoption is accelerating in 2026 across k-12, higher ed, and local government
• Which use cases are moving beyond pilots and which aren’t
• What public-sector leaders look for in AI partners and how they decide who to trust
