The rise of artificial intelligence is contributing to an increase in risky content, whether it be disinformation or explicit images. Teenagers are particularly exposed to this type of content and do not hesitate to take action when they deem it necessary.

According to Microsoft's Global Online Safety Survey, the adoption of artificial intelligence by the general public has grown significantly, despite the fears it raises. For example, 51% of people surveyed have used or experimented with generative AI in the past three months, an increase of 13 points over the previous year. Across all age groups, Indians are the biggest fans of generative AI, with 80% having already tried it. They are followed by people in Singapore (66%), South Africa (60%), Brazil (53%) and the United States (50%). Among those surveyed, the French are the least interested, with only 35% saying they have already tested these tools. However, 88% of all people surveyed say they are concerned about the risks posed by this technology, particularly in terms of data protection and image manipulation.
