24、s from 1,045 adolescents age 13 to 18 and oversamples to obtain 250 Black and 300 Latino teen respondents.Data was collected by Ipsos Public Affairs on behalf of Common Sense Media from March to May 2024.The survey was conducted online,in English or Spanish.Differences between subgroups were tested

47、nd which AI platforms teens choose to use,they use gen-erative AI for a variety of tasks and purposes.The most commonly reported activities are using gen AI for homework help(53%),to stave off boredom(42%),and to translate some-thing from one language to another(41%).We asked about 14 different acti
48、vities in this survey that fall into two categories:formal or educational activities,and sepa-rately,personal activities.Formal or educational activities include summarizing or translating content,making images or videos,brainstorming ideas,helping with homework,and writing documents,email,and code.
49、Most of these activities are carried out by about one-third and up to one-half of all teens,with the exception of writing code,which only about 12%of teens have ever engaged in with the assistance of gen AI.In this survey,we also asked about gen AI-supported personal activities such as staving off b

233、EDIA.ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.Generative AI platforms have quickly become widely acces-sible and multifunctional tools for education.They can accompany teens both in the classroom and when doing homework,and can assist teachers during instruction and lesson preparation.25 Generative AI has the potential
234、to constructively scaffold learning by adapting to students diverse needs and chal-lenges.26 While generative AI holds promise for improving student learning and supporting educators,there are con-cerns that advances in the technology are outpacing the development of school regulations and guidance
235、for students and teachers,27 leaving teens and families confused about permitted and appropriate uses,and exposing students to disciplinary action.28 AI use in classrooms raises existential questions about the foundations of learning:Is it OK to lean on artificial intelli-gence to generate new ideas
236、 or synthesize the main takeaways from a book?What are the tradeoffs for learning when we cede these functions to large language models instead of exer-cising our own mental muscles?Going forward,it will remain critically important to under-stand which gen AI tools teens currently use for school,as
237、well as whether they check the veracity of content created by generative AI and how they navigate school regulations,if any have been implemented.Likewise,understanding teens per-spectives on teachers lessons and discussions about generative AI within the classroom is crucial to understanding how te
238、ens perceive teachers management and implementa-tion of gen AI at school.Furthermore,understanding parents perceptions about the use of gen AI in their childs school can help bridge the com-munication gaps between children,parents,and schools.Two in five teens report having ever used generative AI t

300、race/ethnicity and parent education.Parents of Black teens are more likely than parents of White teens to say that their childs school has com-municated with them about how generative AI will be used in the classroom(17%vs.8%).Parents of Latino teens are more likely to say that their childs school h
301、as not communicated with them about gen AI compared to parents of Black teens(86%vs.76%).In terms of parent education,parents with no college degree more often report that their childs school had not communicated with them about generative AI(89%)com-pared with parents who have a college degree(77%)
302、.Over one-third of teens(35%)report that their school has rules for how generative AI can be used,and teens tend to be more knowledgeable about school rules than parents.Understanding teens AI use for schoolwork requires under-standing the rules and policies in place from teachers,administrators,and
303、 school systems around AI use at and for school.Slightly over one-third of teens(35%)report that they have school rules for how generative AI might be used,and about one-quarter(27%)say they do not have any school rules around gen AI.Still,a substantial number of teens are uncer-tain about the statu
304、s of AI rules at school,with 37%of teens saying they are not sure if there are school rules for gen AI.35 Parents are even more uncertain than their teens.Six in 10 parents(60%)are not sure whether their childs school has rules,while a mere 16%say their teens school has rules,and another quarter(24%
305、)say it does not have rules.Given parents reports of lack of communication from schools,its not surprising that many parents are not sure whether their teens school has rules about the use of gen AI.The share of teens who report whether rules are in place differs by age,ethnicity,and parent educatio

319、nerative AI presents an array of opportunities and chal-lenges in the educational space.On the one hand,these systems can promote learning gains by meeting students where they are and adapting to their needs,36 supporting stu-dents on creative tasks,37 and encouraging project-based learning and coll
320、aboration.On the other hand,gen AI tools can widen educational divides,38 provide inaccurate information,39 facilitate cheating,and amplify concerns related to privacy and bias.40 Recent research suggests that many teens are optimistic about the potential impact of generative AI on education,with 45
321、%agreeing that these systems,such as AI chatbots,may help students learn more and faster.41 Students who are famil-iar with these tools are more likely to endorse the promises of generative AI.Many parents,too,see the possible advantages;research indicates that over two-thirds of parents feel that t
322、he potential upsides of using AI in K12 education outweigh or are equal to the possible downsides.42 In order to maximize benefits while minimizing risks,it is crucial to understand how youth,together with their parents,think about the current impact that generative AI is already having in schools,a
323、s well as their expectations for how it might change in the future.43 Teens See Positives and Negatives of AI for Learning in School Comparable shares of teens believe that generative AI plat-forms will have a somewhat to very positive impact44 on their learning,both in school45(44%)and outside of s

325、 likely to have negative views about the impact on out-of-school learning.Black and Latino youth are more likely than White youth to indicate that gen AI platforms will have a positive impact on their learning in school(55%and 50%vs.38%).At the same time,nearly twice as many Latino teens as Black te
