Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly integrated into professional settings, yet little is known about its use in school psychology. As AI technologies continue to evolve, understanding how school psychologists are incorporating them into their practice is essential for guiding ethical and effective implementation. This study surveyed 199 school psychologists across the United States during 2024 to examine their current use of AI, attitudes toward its application, and perceived ethical and practical concerns. Results indicate that while some practitioners have adopted AI for tasks such as report writing, data analysis, and communication, many remain hesitant about its use due to concerns about privacy, bias, and the need for clear professional guidelines. Despite growing interest in AI’s potential to enhance efficiency and streamline workflows, formal training and institutional policies on AI use remain limited. Findings highlight the need for clearer guidance, professional development opportunities, and ethical considerations to ensure AI’s responsible integration into school psychology.
