Young users aged 9 to 18 are swapping Google for AI chatbots

Original: Study: Young users (9 to 18Y) ditch Google for AI, with unknown consequences

A new Norwegian science news report describes research showing that children and teenagers aged 9 to 18 increasingly turn to AI tools instead of Google for information and answers. Researchers say the shift is happening quickly, but its effects on how young people learn, judge sources and handle misinformation are not yet understood, prompting calls for closer study of the consequences.

Why now: Concerns about how AI is reshaping search habits and information literacy among children and teenagers are growing.
