Survey Reveals Teen Engagement with AI and Parental Concerns
Recent surveys indicate that over half of teens use AI chatbots to assist with schoolwork, yet many parents remain unaware of how frequently their children engage with these technologies. A significant number of teens express concerns that their peers are utilizing AI as a cheat tool, with nearly 60% believing this to be true. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, experts emphasize the need for increased AI literacy among children. They warn about potential risks, including emotional dependence on AI companions and exposure to inappropriate content. Furthermore, parents are encouraged to be vigilant about the way AI is used by their children, while discussions continue on how best to navigate the complexities of AI in family settings.
