A Pew Research Center survey reveals that 26% of teens aged 13-17 now use ChatGPT for schoolwork, up from 13% in 2023. While 54% find it acceptable for research, only 29% approve its use for math and 18% for essay writing. Many school districts have banned ChatGPT, viewing it as cheating, while some teachers advocate for its effective use. The AI tool, launched in 2022, is increasingly popular among students in 2025.
