Artificial intelligence is part of everyday life for young people

Artificial intelligence has rapidly become part of young people’s everyday lives. According to a survey, 71% have had experience with ChatGPT or other programs, whiile 34% use the applications at least once a week.
This is a brilliant start for the new medium. After all, the technology only entered the consciousness of the masses at the end of 2022, according to a study published on Thursday by the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), which was commissioned by Swisscom.
ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) programs have been integrated into the everyday lives of young people faster than any other medium before. With their dialogue-based interfaces, they are very easy and low-threshold to use. However, there are also disadvantages: the output of these AI tools is not always error-free, and they sometimes provide incorrect or inaccurate information.

Neurotechnologies integrating artificial intelligence (AI) can treat diseases such as Parkinson’s but they can also alter the brain and read the mind.
Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp and Snapchat remain the most popular social networks and messengers among young people in Switzerland. According to the study, these four are an integral part of young people’s everyday lives – regardless of age, gender and social background. However, according to the study, a saturation trend can also be seen in young people’s media use. An increase hardly seems possible.
Young people most frequently own personal devices such as cell phones, computers or laptops and portable speakers. Computers or laptops and portable speakers in particular become more popular with increasing age.
The social and economic status of the family determines the media equipment of young people. If this increases, the number of available devices in the personal possession of young people also increases.
According to its own information, the James Study maps the media use of young people in Switzerland. James stands for Youth, Activities, Media Survey Switzerland and is conducted every two years. Since 2010, more than 1,000 young people aged between 12 and 19 in the three major language regions of Switzerland have been surveyed about their media and leisure behaviour.
