A new Pew Research Center survey reveals that 26% of U.S. teens aged 13 to 17 are using ChatGPT for schoolwork, doubling from two years ago. While over half find it acceptable for research, concerns arise about its reliability, especially in math and factual accuracy. Studies indicate mixed results, with some students performing worse when using the AI tool. Notably, Black and Hispanic teens report higher usage rates. As educators express skepticism about AI's impact, this trend highlights the need for awareness of the technology's limitations among young users.
