Dawn of AI Era Report

> Our new report, “The Dawn of the AI Era: Teens, Parents, and the Adoption of Generative AI at Home and School” — out today — shows that teens are quickly adopting generative AI, similar to how they embraced social media. > But many parents are behind on how often their kids are using this tech, and schools are still struggling to keep up. > Key Findings: - 70% of teens use generative AI tools like chatbots and image generators. - 53% use AI for homework help. - 41% use AI tools with their teacher’s permission; 46% use them without. - Only 37% of parents know their teen uses AI, and about half aren’t talking about it. - 40% of teens say their schools have no AI rules or guidance; 83% of parents say schools haven’t communicated about AI. - 87% of teens who discussed AI in class are more aware of its potential for misuse. - 49% of teens verify AI information with other sources. - Black students are over twice as likely as White or Latino students to have their work wrongly flagged for AI use. > Let’s encourage open dialogue among schools, teachers, parents, and young people, and help schools create clear policies for responsible AI use. > [**Get the full report, a comprehensive guide**](https://www.commonsensemedia.org/research/the-dawn-of-the-ai-era-teens-parents-and-the-adoption-of-generative-ai-at-home-and-school) to generative AI for parents, and resources for educators.
