At Google, we believe that understanding and supporting young people as they navigate the digital world is paramount.

That’s why we have partnered with Livity to deliver The Future Report, an in-depth research project sharing insights from over 6,000 teenagers across the UK on their digital lives.

The report reveals a generation thinking critically and enthusiastically about new technologies, with 74% of UK teens using AI multiple times a week for either learning or creativity, and 76% regularly considering the trustworthiness of information.

It also serves as a practical guide for us and others looking to support teens’ digital journeys, highlighting the importance of ensuring age-appropriate safer online experiences, feature-level product safeguards, responsible AI and AI literacy.

The Future Report has received support from some civic partners at the forefront of these issues. We are proud to share guest blogs here.
