"Mom, Dad! Can I do my homework with AI?"
Generative AI has completely changed the daily lives of teenagers . Surprisingly, a whopping 70% of teenagers have used AI! AI search engines and chatbots are said to be particularly popular. They say they look to AI when doing homework, translating foreign languages, and even when they are just bored.
What's even more surprising? 40% of teenagers are getting help from AI when doing their schoolwork . And half of them are using AI without their teachers knowing. Isn't that a big deal?
"My child uses AI? This is the first time I've heard of it."
Parents, prepare to be shocked. Only 37% of parents are aware that their children are using AI . It seems like parents are not fully aware of how our children are living in the digital world.
“Will AI be fair? Or will it discriminate?”
There are also studies that show that AI experiences vary by race. Black and Latino students are more positive about AI. But at the same time, black students are more likely to be suspicious of AI use . This is a bit concerning.
“We can’t live without AI” vs “AI will ruin our children!”
Young people are quite positive about AI. 56% think AI technology will be essential in the future . On the other hand, parents are a bit more concerned. Many worry that AI will ruin their children’s creativity or critical thinking.
"Can we use AI? Can we not?" Schools are still thinking about it
The rules for using AI in schools are still unclear . Only 35% of students say their schools have rules for using AI. It seems like schools are having a hard time keeping up with the rapid pace of AI development.
In the AI era, our children are already running in the middle of it. AI has deeply penetrated their studies and daily lives. What we need now is to find a way to reduce the bad aspects of AI while taking advantage of its good aspects. Isn’t it the task of adults to help our children grow well with AI?
