Teen AI Usage Signals Opportunity for Ethical AI & Digital Literacy Tools

The observation that 'most teens have used AI to flirt and chat, but still prefer human interaction' highlights both widespread AI adoption among youth and a nuanced understanding of its limitations in social contexts. This creates opportunities for developing ethical AI guidelines, digital literacy programs focused on responsible AI use, and platforms that facilitate genuine human connection, potentially integrating AI as a supportive, rather than primary, interaction tool. Education technology and social media companies need to adapt.
