More than half of teens are using AI for schoolwork—and many parents don’t know it | Fortune
A Pew Research Center survey found 57% of U.S. teens use AI for information and 54% for schoolwork, often without parental awareness.Summary
A Pew Research Center survey of 1,458 U.S. teens and parents revealed that 57% of teens use AI to search for information, and 54% use it for schoolwork, including summarizing articles and books. While about a quarter of teens find AI very or extremely helpful for school, one in ten use it for most or all of their assignments. A significant "perception gap" exists, as 64% of teens report using chatbots, but only 51% of parents believe their teens use the technology. Despite this, most parents approve of AI use for summaries and homework help. This trend emerges amid warnings, such as from a Brookings report, that generative AI risks overshadowing benefits by providing "frictionless" education that detracts from critical thinking and learning.
