Rising Adoption of Generative AI Among Teens
A significant majority of teens aged 13 to 18 are increasingly utilizing generative AI tools, with 70% reporting they've used at least one. The most common applications include AI-assisted tasks like homework help and creative projects, showing their familiarity with technology. Interestingly, there is a distinct income gap visible in generative AI usage, as those from households with college-educated parents are more likely to engage with these tools. Moreover, while Black and Latino teens are reported to use generative AI for creative tasks more frequently, overall, more than half of teens are leveraging AI for academic support, indicating an early adoption trend within this demographic.
