AI adoption for back-to-school management

Overview

Families in the United States and France are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence to manage the logistical and financial pressures of the back-to-school season.

In the United States, rising costs have led 56% of shoppers to plan the use of AI tools to analyze budgets and manage school supply lists. To combat inflation, community initiatives such as clothing and supply swaps have also emerged in Minnesota cities like Coon Rapids, St. Paul, and Minneapolis.

In France, parents are adopting AI for household logistics and budgeting, with approximately 49% intending to use the technology to compare prices and 48% to simplify administrative tasks. While 74% of French parents with children aged 6 to 18 are open to using AI for schoolwork—specifically to explain concepts or create exercises—most maintain boundaries against using it for ready-made answers or major decision-making.
