Around 85% of young people use artificial intelligence, according to data from the EU Kids Online study. This number represents a significant increase in the adoption of these technologies by younger users.

The study also reveals a significant increase in young people's exposure to harmful content and hate speech online. This reality raises concerns about the safety of young people in the digital environment.

Regarding mobile phones, the majority of young people reject the ban on these devices. This position contrasts with some public debates about restrictions on the use of mobile phones in school settings.

EU Kids Online is a European study that monitors the digital habits and online well-being of young people, providing important data for policymakers and educators.
