Kids and AI: Dependency or Tool
Description
Nearly 90% of kids are using generative AI—like ChatGPT or Gemini—with nearly a quarter doing it daily. Most use it for fun, but over 80% rely on it for homework, and three-quarters create art or videos. Alarmingly, half seek AI advice on health, and a fifth say they’d struggle without it for a month. Many don’t realize AI can’t distinguish truth from fiction, and some encounter inappropriate content. While some use AI to practice social skills or express emotions, educators and parents urgently need to address safety, dependency, and learning gaps before these tools reshape childhood.
