This article summarizes a report Teen and Young Adult Perspectives on Generative AI and states the main points as follows (quoted):

  • Half of teens surveyed have used generative AI, but few (4%) use it frequently
  • Most common uses are for getting information (53%) and brainstorming (51%)
  • AI can help with homework and creative assignments, not just cheating
  • Students bring their questions to generative AI, for better or worse
  • Many students are worried about AI used for bullying and disinformation 

None of these should be surprising, except perhaps that so few students report using AI daily.
