Nearly a Third of American Teens Interact with AI Chatbots Daily, Study Finds

Pew Research finds 64% of U.S. teens have used AI chatbots with 28% using them daily, amid ongoing concerns about mental health and safety.

  • On Tuesday, the Pew Research Center found 64% of U.S. teens ages 13 to 17 use AI chatbots, with about 28% using them daily, based on a survey of 1,458 teens polled between September 25 and October 9, 2025.
  • For the first time, the survey directly asked teens about AI chatbots, reflecting new research amid FTC probes and families who filed lawsuits against OpenAI and Character AI.
  • ChatGPT leads teen use at 59, surpassing Gemini at 23 and Meta AI at 20, with daily use differing by race, age, and income.
  • Regulators and senators have proposed probes and legislation as families of Adam Raine and Amaurie Lacey sued OpenAI and Character AI, while Character AI restricted teen access and launched 'Stories' for minors.
  • With policy moves emerging internationally and in the U.S., experts warn companies must adapt models for user well-being as chatbots become common in education and entertainment settings.
