🚀 Revelation: 93% of 18-25 year olds are already using AI in 2025!

A generation growing up with ChatGPT in their pocket… and it’s shaking things up! 🤖✨

💡 The essentials to remember

The Heaven agency has just released its Born AI 2025 report, and frankly… the results are dizzying! Together, we break down this study that reveals how our young people are living with AI.

Young people with smartphones. AI and young people, a love story in 2025. #IA #Youth

So, can generative AI really settle into our lives like Instagram or TikTok have? (spoiler alert: apparently yes, and even faster than we thought! 😅)

That’s exactly the question Heaven asked itself with its famous annual “Born AI” report, which analyzes how the 18-25 generation is taming these new tools. And be warned… the figures really make you think!

📊 Methodology: a serious survey

Okay, we’re not going to lie… sometimes studies are just hot air 💨. But here, Heaven did things properly

🎯

495 young people surveyed

Solid sample with age, gender and location quotas

📋

Online questionnaire

Convenient and effective for reaching digital natives

⚖️

Quotas applied

Balanced distribution by demographic profile

📈 Utilization rates soar!

🚨 Impressive growth in 1 year:

85%

2024

93%

2025

+8 points in one year… that’s unprecedented! 🤯

But wait, that’s not all! What’s even crazier is that this figure remains almost identical between boys(93%) and girls(94%). Gone is the cliché of the“male geek” with AI… this technology really does transcend gender

The frequency of use that’s scary (or fun?)

Even more striking, the frequency of use has literally soared! Hold on to your hats

Daily use (1 time/day or +)

2024: 21% 2025: 42%

Doubled in 1 year! We go from occasional to addictive… 📱

Weekly use, meanwhile, remains stable at around 35%. This suggests that young people are moving straight from “I try it once in a while” to “I use it every day“!

Unsurprisingly, ChatGPT continues to dominate the ranking of tools… 🎯

💭O ur analysis: ChatGPT crushes the competition!

With 84.6% usage, ChatGPT remains the absolute behemoth. But what’s interesting is the emergence of AIs integrated into social platforms (Snapchat’s My AI) and existing ecosystems (Meta AI)

Basically, AI no longer lives in dedicated apps… it’s inviting itself everywhere young people spend time! 🎯

🎯 How are young people actually using AI?

Young and AI: Smartphone for breakfast. Artificial intelligence in everyday life in 2025?

This explosion in numbers is all well and good… but what does it actually mean in real life? The study really digs into the topic of AI use among young people, and here it gets really exciting! 🔍

54% think that

not using AI = disadvantage

Generational paradox: they know it’s “not right” but feel they have no choice! 🤔

🎯 Interview express: the word of the main people concerned

Emma, 20, law student in Bordeaux: “Frankly, using ChatGPT to structure my essays is like using Word instead of writing by hand. As the tool evolves, so do we! But I always keep a critical eye.”

Lucas, 23, junior developer in Paris: “AI helps me debug my code faster. It’s not cheating, it’s efficiency! On the other hand, I’m careful not to become addicted…”

🏠 But AI goes way beyond study/work!
