Study: Young users ditch Google for AI tools
Children and teenagers aged 9 to 18 are increasingly moving away from traditional search engines in favor of AI.

Recent studies indicate a growing trend among young users aged 9 to 18 as they increasingly abandon traditional search engines like Google in favor of artificial intelligence tools.
This shift highlights how the younger generation's habits in discovering and processing information are fundamentally evolving in the digital age.
However, experts express concern that the long-term consequences of this behavioral change remain largely unknown and unexplored.
Because AI-generated responses are not always infallible or fully objective, there is a rising risk of misinformation affecting young minds.
For the broader tech ecosystem, understanding this transition is crucial as the next generation redefines the future of online search and interaction.
