Recent research by the Pew Research Center indicates that 30% of American teenagers interact with AI chatbots on a daily basis, according to TechCrunch. Additionally, 4% report using them nearly all the time.

In the survey, 59% of participants reported employing OpenAI's ChatGPT, surpassing Google Gemini—which attracted 23%—by more than double. Meanwhile, 20% utilize Meta AI, and 36% indicated no use of AI chatbots whatsoever.

The findings highlight that teenagers aged 15 to 17 engage with this technology at a much higher rate compared to their younger counterparts.
