In short
A study by Common Sense Media found that 90% of children aged 9–17 actively use AI, and a quarter of them do so daily. At the same time, they are more likely to turn to neural networks for advice than to adults.
A new study by the nonprofit organization Common Sense Media sheds light on how today’s children interact with artificial intelligence. It turns out that teenagers are increasingly turning to neural networks for advice rather than to their parents or teachers.
Key Figures
- About 90% of respondents aged 9 to 17 are already actively using AI services.
- One in four respondents uses such tools every day.
Children use AI not only for schoolwork but also to address personal issues. This presents adults with new challenges: how to monitor and guide such interactions so that they do more good than harm.
What This Means
As AI replaces traditional advisors, parents and educators should consider digital literacy and safety. The study emphasizes that neural networks are becoming not just a tool, but a full-fledged participant in the educational process.
