Young Americans are using artificial intelligence (AI) regularly, but their distrust and resentment toward the technology are also growing, according to a new Gallup survey.

The survey, released Thursday, found that more than half of Generation Z respondents ages 14 to 29 said they use generative AI either daily or weekly. Younger members of Gen Z who are still in K–12 education were more likely than Gen Z adults to say they use AI at least weekly.
