Drawing on insights from over 4,000 respondents across 128 countries, this survey report examines how young people are navigating both the opportunities and challenges of the digital era. While 62% of youth are already using AI in real-world contexts, only 30% have received formal training — highlighting critical gaps in access, ethics and infrastructure.

These findings underscore the need for equitable digital education, responsible AI integration and greater youth participation in policy-making, offering valuable guidance for supporting youth in harnessing the skills and opportunities they need for a digital future.
