In 2025, 63.8% of young people aged 16-24 in the EU used generative AI tools, nearly double the general population’s usage rate (32.7% of those aged 16-74).
Young people are increasingly using generative AI for both private purposes (44.2%) and formal education (39.3%), compared to 25.1% and 9.4% respectively among the general population.
Professional use of generative AI was relatively similar between young people (15.8%) and the overall population (15.1%), due to many young people yet to enter the labor market.
The highest shares of generative AI tool usage among people aged 16-24 in the EU were recorded in Greece (83.5%), Estonia (82.8%), and Czechia (78.5%).
The lowest shares of generative AI tool usage were observed in Romania (44.1%), Italy (47.2%), and Poland (49.3%).
