More than half of teenagers in the United States use artificial intelligence tools for help with their schoolwork, according to a new study from the Pew Research Center.

Fifty-four percent of students ages 13 to 17 said they had used a chatbot such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Microsoft’s Copilot for tasks like researching school assignments or solving math problems, Pew said in a report published Tuesday.
