Research shows nearly two-thirds of teens and tweens use AI chatbots. Most cite homework help and emotional support (when stressed, lonely, or anxious) as primary use cases. The study identifies a correlation between how young people use chatbots and their mental health outcomes.
“Most kids say they use chatbots for help with homework and when they're stressed, lonely, or anxious. And how they use chatbots is tied to their mental health.”
