Summary of Teen and Young Adult Perspectives on Generative AI

This report analyzes the attitudes, usage, and perceptions of generative AI among U.S. teens and young adults aged 14-22. Key findings highlight that about half of this demographic (51%) has used generative AI tools, though daily use remains low. Common applications include obtaining information and brainstorming ideas, with higher engagement observed among Black and Latinx youth. Reasons for non-use include lack of awareness, concerns about cheating, privacy issues, and perceived lack of usefulness.

Looking ahead, most young people anticipate generative AI will have both positive and negative impacts in the next ten years, with LGBTQ+ youth expressing greater pessimism. Excitements focus on AI's potential to enhance efficiency in education and work, foster creativity, and promote human advancement. However, major concerns revolve around job loss, AI dominance, intellectual property theft, misinformation, and privacy risks. Teens also advise adults to recognize AI as a tool that can be used for both beneficial and harmful purposes, emphasizing the need for education on ethical use and the importance of balancing privacy with innovation.

The report underscores the necessity for targeted education, policy engagement that incorporates youth perspectives, and design considerations centered on safety and equity to maximize benefits and mitigate risks associated with generative AI.
