The Hill (2/24, Davis) reports a new Pew Research Center survey found that 64% of U.S. teens “indicated they use AI chatbots,” with about 3 in 10 saying they use the services daily. Meanwhile, “parents of these polled teenagers underestimated such usage in the survey, with only 51% of parents saying that their child uses AI chatbots. Over a quarter said they were “unsure,” 18% said their teen did not use these chatbots and 4% said they had not heard about AI chatbots. Additionally, only 4 out of 10 parents said they have talked with their child about using these services.” Other survey results indicate that most teens “said that they use these chatbots to search for information and to assist with homework assignments. A small portion of respondents, 12%, said that they rely on AI for emotional support or advice.”
