The research sample consisted of 50 first-grade primary school students, 239 parents, and 25 primary school teachers studying in Almaty, Kazakhstan. A descriptive analysis technique was used to analyse the qualitative data. Findings are explained in themes. As a result of the research, it has been observed that parents' attitudes towards their children's use of technology were high. Most primary school teachers who participated in the research stated that students were interested in artificial intelligence, they supported the use of artificial intelligence technologies to some extent, and they found the students partially successful in this regard. Students participating in the research defined artificial intelligence as technology, computers that think like humans, smart machines, entertaining and educational computer content, robots that obey given commands, and technological devices that make life easier.
