“As debates continue over whether chatbots should have a role in the classroom, more teens are turning to ChatGPT to help with schoolwork. The share of teens who say they use ChatGPT for their schoolwork has risen to 26%, according to a Pew Research Center survey of U.S. teens ages 13 to 17. That’s up from 13% in 2023. Still, most teens (73%) have not used the chatbot in this way. Teens’ use of ChatGPT for schoolwork increased across demographic groups. But certain groups stand out for using the chatbot in this way:  By race and ethnicity – Black and Hispanic teens (31% each) are more likely than White teens (22%) to say they have used ChatGPT for their schoolwork. But this wasn’t the case as recently as last year. In 2023, similar shares of White (11%), Black (13%) and Hispanic teens (11%) said they used the chatbot for schoolwork. (There were not enough Asian teens in the sample to be broken out into a separate analysis.) By grade level – Teens in 11th and 12th grade (31%) are more likely than seventh and eighth graders (20%) to say they use ChatGPT for their schoolwork. About a quarter of ninth and 10th graders say this, which is not significantly different from the other two groups. Teens’ use of ChatGPT for schoolwork does not vary by gender or household income…”
