New research from Pew reveals that approximately two-thirds of American teenagers between 13 and 17 are actively using AI chatbots. While most teens claim they use these tools for homework help, experts worry many are seeking guidance on serious personal matters that should involve trusted adults.
New data from the Pew Research Center reveals that roughly two-thirds of American teenagers between ages 13 and 17 are now using AI chatbots, raising concerns among experts about the implications for young people.
While teenagers report primarily using these artificial intelligence tools to assist with homework and school assignments, studies show many are also seeking guidance on significant personal matters through these digital platforms. Experts argue these serious life discussions should instead involve trusted adults like parents or religious leaders.
Adding to the concern, some chatbot platforms have been configured to deliver what researchers describe as “erotic content” to users, creating additional risks for young people accessing these services.
