Most Teens Have Tried AI Companions, and More Than Half Are Regular Users
Methodology
Data is from the July 2025 Common Sense report titled "Talk, Trust, and Trade-Offs: How and Why Teens Use AI Companions" conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. 1,060 US teens ages 13-17 were surveyed during April 30-May 14, 2025. The survey was conducted using a combination of probability-based AmeriSpeak Teen panel interviews (n=719) and nonprobability Prodege panel interviews (n=341), all conducted in English. The combined sample was weighted using raking and NORC’s TrueNorth calibration to align with the February 2024 Current Population Survey benchmarks for US teens ages 13-17, specifically in terms of age, sex, census region, race/ethnicity, and parental education. The weighted data are nationally representative of US teens, with an overall margin of sampling error of +/-4.2 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. Margins are larger for subgroups, and additional nonsampling error may be present.
