The proportion of "US adolescents and young adults aged 12 to 21" who "used artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots for mental health advice," according to a study published in JAMA Pediatrics -- AI Chatbot Use and Disclosure for Mental Health Among US Adolescents and Young Adults.

This national survey including more than 42 million US youth (population-weighted) found that almost a fifth of adolescents and young adults reported using AI chatbots for mental health advice, representing an increase by almost half from 1 year prior. Most users told no one that they used AI chatbots for this purpose.
