BRIEF #1 RESEARCH
What's actually happening when young people use AI?
One of the first large-scale studies to explore how young people’s AI use intersects with their social lives, emotional wellbeing, and the relationships around them.
Surveying 2,400 people ages 13–24, we asked not whether AI is good or bad — but what’s actually happening, for whom, and why. What we heard back was a story that was much more nuanced, human, and insightful than the dominant narrative about this generation and this emerging technology.
Let’s Talk About It
This study isn’t the final answer — it’s a launching point. Our hope is that it sparks deeper, more honest conversations about the reality of young people’s AI use, its impact on their social worlds, and what we want to do about it. To help you bring that conversation into your team, your classroom, or your dinner table, we’ve built three companion tools to get you started.
