28% of teens aged 13 to 19 are using AI chatbots every day, with 64% using them at least once a week.

4% of teens report using AI chatbots “almost constantly.”

Older teens, those in households with incomes above $75,000, and Black and Hispanic teens are more likely to use AI chatbots.

The most popular AI chatbot among teens is ChatGPT, followed by other platforms like Gemini, Meta AI, Copilot, and Claude.

Despite the rise in AI chatbot use, social media remains more popular among teens, with over 90% using YouTube daily and 60 to 70% using Instagram and Snapchat.

A study found that 48% of teens believe going online is bad for their mental health, and 45% feel like they spend too much time online.

Common Sense Media advises parents to educate their kids on the dangers of chatbots, noting that they can escalate harmful ideas or feelings by being too agreeable or supportive.
