According to a new report by Common Sense Media, students are actively engaging with generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, often without guidance from their schools. The survey revealed that 70% of teens have tried at least one AI tool, yet many schools lack clear policies on its use. Amanda Lenhart, head of research for Common Sense Media, stated, “Schools have been the real point of interaction, and one of the real places we see the frictions around AI emerging.” The report highlights that 53% of teens use AI for homework help, but notes that communication between parents, students, and teachers about AI remains insufficient. The findings suggest that educational institutions need to foster discussions about AI to enhance understanding and responsible use among students.
