欧洲发布青少年科技态度报告:AI助力学习创作,数字原住民引领技术变革浪潮
一项针对欧洲七国7000余名13至18岁青少年的最新调研显示,伴随无线网络成长的新生代正成为塑造未来十年科技发展轨迹的关键力量。这份名为《未来报告》的研究由专业青年咨询机构合作完成,覆盖爱尔兰、波兰、希腊、西班牙、意大利、法国和瑞典的青少年群体。
调查发现,人工智能已成为欧洲青少年学习创作的重要工具。约40%的受访者表示每日或几乎每日使用AI工具,超八成(81%)认为AI能有效激发创造力,65%肯定其帮助产生新思路与问题解决方案的能力,近半数(47%)认为AI能以多元方式解析复杂课题。然而28%的受访者透露其所在学校尚未批准使用任何AI工具,18岁的瑞典学生阿里直言:"学校教育已经滞后,我们迫切需要系统掌握更科学的AI应用方法。"
尽管积极拥抱技术,年轻群体对AI保持清醒认知。超半数(55%)受访者会评估内容可信度,46%习惯通过多源交叉验证信息。17岁的爱尔兰少年杰克指出:"AI不应替代人类思考。"调查显示,青少年普遍重视培养批判性思维,警惕过度依赖人工智能。
在数字素养培育方面,父母仍是青少年最信赖的指导者(32%),远超朋友(12%)和教师(9%)。但亲子影响力随年龄增长显著减弱:13-15岁群体中54%愿听取父母建议,而16-18岁该比例骤降至19%。研究表明,初中阶段是培养健康用网习惯的关键窗口期,YouTube等平台的家长监督功能为早期引导提供有效路径。
视频平台正成为拓展认知疆域的重要载体,74%的受访者通过YouTube学习课外知识。17岁的波兰学生西蒙表示:"我常通过视频发现文化领域的新锐人物。"在技术赋能的同时,欧洲青少年更期待获得包容性发展、系统化引导与科技生活平衡——这既是全社会共同课题,也是科技界面临的时代命题。

欧洲七千名青少年告诉我们哪些科技未来
欧洲科技创新的未来十年,将由这代人的数字习惯塑造——他们生来就知Wi-Fi为何物。青少年对科技究竟有何期待?他们希望将技术引向何方?
为寻找答案,我们与青年咨询机构Livity合作,对爱尔兰、波兰、希腊、西班牙、意大利、法国及瑞典的7000余名13至18岁青少年展开调研。《未来报告》揭示:这代欧洲人不仅是技术使用者,更在主动推动技术演进,使其更好地助力学习、激发创意、促进健康。
人工智能:助力学习与创造的翅膀
青少年广泛接纳AI工具已不是新鲜事:约四成(40%)受访者每天或几乎每天使用。究其原因,超八成(81%)认为AI能激发创造力,高达65%表示AI帮助“催生新思路或问题解决方案”,47%认为其能“以多元方式解析难题”。然而,超过四分之一(28%)的受访者表示学校尚未批准使用任何AI工具。“学校教育已经滞后了”,18岁的瑞典青年阿里坦言,“我们应当学习更科学的AI应用方式”。
人工智能:有用,但非万能
在信息爆炸环境中成长的年轻一代深谙审慎之道。超半数(55%)会评估内容可信度,近半数(46%)习惯通过交叉验证甄别信息。他们认同AI能提升效率,但正如17岁的爱尔兰少年杰克所言:“它不该代替你思考”。受访青少年普遍强调保持批判性思维的重要性,警惕对AI的过度依赖。
家长引导的“黄金窗口期”
近三分之一(32%)青少年将父母或监护人视为健康上网习惯的首选指导者,这一比例远超朋友(12%)和老师(9%)。但随着年龄增长,他们对家庭指导的依赖度显著降低。13至15岁群体中,超半数(54%)会向可信赖的家长寻求建议;而在16至18岁群体中,该比例骤降至不足两成(19%)。这表明,青少年学习良好网络行为的最佳时机,正是他们仍愿与长辈沟通的阶段。通过YouTube监督模式等功能,家长能更从容地帮助子女尽早养成健康数字习惯。
技术如何开启新世界
欧洲年轻人正通过YouTube拓展课堂内外学习:74%受访者通过观看视频获取新知。这类工具不仅是学习助手,更是通往更广阔天地的窗口。“我常通过YouTube视频了解文化界新锐”,17岁的波兰少年西蒙如是说。
当下欧洲青少年对AI和数字工具充满热情。技术接入能打开新世界,但他们渴求的远不止于此:包容性发展、正确引导与科技平衡。这既是全社会共同的课题,也是科技界必须应对的挑战。

What 7,000 teens in Europe told us about the future of technology
The next ten years of European tech innovation will be shaped by the digital habits of a generation that’s never known life without wi-fi. What do teens really want out of technology? And where do they intend to take it?
To find out, we partnered with the youth consultancy Livity, surveying more than 7,000 teens aged 13-18 across Ireland, Poland, Greece, Spain, Italy, France, and Sweden. “The Future Report” reveals a generation of Europeans who aren’t simply using technology, but are actively shaping its evolution to better benefit their learning, creativity, and wellbeing.
AI: helping teens to learn and create
It’s not news to say that teenagers have embraced AI tools: 4 out of 10 (40%) use them daily or almost daily. And why? The vast majority (81%) say it improves their creativity. As many as 65% say it helps them come up with “new ideas or solutions to problems,” and 47% say it helps “explain difficult topics in different ways.” Yet, more than a quarter (28%) say their schools have not approved the use of any AI tools. “I think school is lagging behind,” says Ali, 18, from Sweden. “I think we should learn how to use AI in a better way than what we do now.”
AI: useful — but not infallible
Teens are growing up in an information-rich environment, and they know not to take everything at face value. The majority (55%) say they consider whether content is trustworthy, and nearly half (46%) check information against other sources. And they recognize that AI can be a shortcut, but as Jack, 17, from Ireland, says, "it shouldn't do the thinking for you." Teens surveyed frequently cited the importance of maintaining critical thinking skills — and their care in not becoming over-reliant on AI.
A limited window for parental advice
Parents and guardians are the most trusted source of advice about healthy online habits for nearly a third of teens (32%), followed by friends (12%) and teachers (9%). But teens become less reliant on parents and family members as they grow up. At ages 13-15, more than half of teens (54%) turn to trusted parents or guardians to learn healthy online habits. But at ages 16-18, that number drops to less than one in five (19%), suggesting that the best time for young people to learn good online hygiene is when they’re still more open to conversations with the adults in their lives. Through features like supervised experiences on YouTube, parents can more easily guide their pre-teens and teens to healthy digital habits early on.
How tech can open up new worlds
In Europe, young people use YouTube for education inside and outside the classroom: 74% said they watched videos on YouTube to learn something new for school. Tools like YouTube aren’t only educational, they can be transporting. “I often discover new cultural figures through YouTube videos,” says Szymon, 17, from Poland.
Today’s European teens are excited about AI and digital tools. Access can open up new worlds. What teens want is something even more than that: inclusion, guidance, and balance. That’s a societal project, and the tech community’s challenge.
