The AI generation: How today’s youth are learning to live with machines

Artificial intelligence for today’s young people is not a futuristic concept or science fiction story. This is just real. AI helps to choose their music, finish their sentences and even decide which news they see. For this generation, algorithms are not the tools hidden in the background – they shape daily life as they struggle to understand even adults.

In schools around the world, young people try not only as passive users, but also as creators and thinkers. From writing stories with chatgpt to designing applications that use machine learning to monitor environmental changes, young people just want to shape AI technology – they want to shape it.

However, with all this opportunity, a quieter pressure comes. While policy makers and companies discuss the ethics of AI, young people live with real -time consequences. The concerns about prejudice, misinformation and confidentiality are not theoretical to them – these are the difficulties they have to navigate on a daily basis.
At the same time, young activists and students are withdrawn. Europe and beyond, youth organizations ask hard questions about AI’s influence on mental health, inequality and democracy. They demand transparency from technology giants and invite governments to deal with AI as more than just a business opportunity.

For many people in this generation, the aim is not to be afraid of AI or to trust blindly. It is about finding a balance: learning how to live with machines while holding things that make us human – creativity, empathy and responsibility.

In classrooms, conferences and social media, young voices shape how AI will develop. This is not just the AI period. Define their.
