New Pew Research data shows nearly two-thirds of US teens (ages 13-17) are using AI chatbots. That’s not a trend — that’s a generation. The study draws on five years of survey data and paints a picture of a country still deeply split on whether AI is promise or peril. Parents: your kids are probably better at prompting than you are.
