Summary
Teens are the first generation growing up with AI, and this technology will heavily shape their future. Today, nearly 9 in 10 teens on ChatGPT use it for learning, information, skill-building, or productivity in a single week. During a recent OpenAI Academy Oriana McKenzie shared how ChatGPT helped her become No.1 in her high school class by studying smarter and managing her workload—giving her the time needed for the sports and school programs she loves.
