1 in 4 UK kids aged 8–12 are already using generative AI every month!
That’s one of the findings from a research by The Alan Turing Institute + UNICEF + LEGO Group. (link in the comments)
✔️ The most popular tools? ChatGPT and Gemini.
✔️ Usage changes with age:
▫️ 8-year-olds ➔ Entertainment
▫️ 10-year-olds ➔ Image creation
▫️ 12-year-olds ➔ Homework help
✔️ There's a major access gap: 52% of private school pupils use AI regularly vs. just 18% in state schools.
✔️ While parents are optimistic, they're also rightly concerned about misinformation and over-reliance.
✔️ Children with additional learning needs are using it to express thoughts they couldn't otherwise.
