What do Teens really think about AI?

AI is no longer a future concern, it is already part of how teens learn, think, and complete their schoolwork. Join us for this presentation to better understand what this means for the future.

This session is based on a 2025 research study of 150+ high school students across 16 GTA schools, combining surveys and in-depth interviews to understand how teens use AI and perceive its risks.

Led by a student researcher and co-presented with a University of Toronto professor, this webinar offers both real student insight and research-backed perspective.

What You’ll Learn

● How teens are actually using AI for schoolwork
● Why many students worry that AI may affect their thinking
● The risks teens often overlook (privacy, misinformation, over-reliance)
● How AI may be shaping learning habits and independence
● Practical ways to guide your teens without fear or conflict

This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from both a student researcher (Sophia Zhao) and a University of Toronto professor, (Dr. Tao Wang) offering a balanced and real-world perspective on one of the most important issues facing families today.

Dr. Tao Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Teaching Stream (CLTA) at the Faculty of Information, University of Toronto. He earned his Ph.D. in Management Information Systems from Simon Fraser University and holds a B.A. in Business Administration from Nanjing University, China.
