Multiple sources report that a majority of children and teens use artificial intelligence for personal and social purposes. The figure cited is 54% of respondents who say they use AI for reasons connected to their own lives, including seeking guidance for specific situations and health-related questions. The reporting breaks down this personal use by category: about a third (33%) of those who use AI ask questions related to physical health, another 33% ask for advice about what to do in a particular situation, and around 20% seek advice about mental health and wellbeing. The sources describe personal problem-solving as a normal part of growing up, and they frame AI use as part of how young people look for support or information. At the same time, they highlight that this pattern of use creates risks, including concerns that advice generated by AI may be inaccurate, may not account for context, or may not be appropriate substitutes for professional help. Overall, the articles emphasize the need to understand how young people use AI in everyday life and what safety concerns may follow.
