How Teens Use and View AI

A majority of U.S. teens say they use AI chatbots, including about three-in-ten who do so daily. But what are they using them for? And how do they think artificial intelligence (AI) will impact their lives? Teens turn to chatbots like ChatGPT, Copilot and Character.ai for a variety of things – but information seeking and schoolwork help top the list, while “for fun” is not far behind: 

• More than half of teens say they have used chatbots to search for information (57%) or get help with schoolwork (54%).
• And 47% say they’ve done so for fun or entertainment.

About four-in-ten each report using chatbots to summarize articles, books or videos or create or edit images or videos. And about one-in-five say they use chatbots to get news.
