This study examines the views of early adopters of generative AI (GenAI) in secondary education, exploring emerging practices and perceptions across five EU Member States. The study, based on the views of educators, school leaders, students, and policymakers, highlights that GenAI offers new opportunities for teaching and learning while also posing important challenges By understanding the experiences and considerations of these early adopters, the study provides valuable insights into key aspects of an effective and responsible approach to adopting GenAI in secondary education. The findings inform recommendations for policymakers and school leaders, emphasising the importance of ethical uses and highlighting the need to redefine AI literacy and digital education competence in the lights of this emerging technologies.
