Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — A new study is shedding light on how children are interacting with artificial intelligence. The survey, conducted by Thorn, found that AI chatbots have become a common tool for young people, with 67 percent reporting they have used one. Researchers say some children are also seeking advice and emotional support from AI following difficult online experiences. Child development experts say the growing use of AI reflects how technology is changing the way young people access information and support, while raising new questions about digital safety and oversight.
