How Teens are Using AI?

Teens are using AI a lot for school and daily life, with many seeing benefits but also more cheating.

A new study by Pew Research Center shows that AI is now common among teens, especially for schoolwork, learning, and fun. Most teens see AI as helpful, but many also believe it is increasing cheating in school.

• About 60% of teens said AI cheating is common, and this rises to 75% among teens who use AI themselves

• Teens said AI makes life easier, helps learning, and saves time, but some worry about job loss and less creativity

• Around 40% of parents said they never talked with their child about AI, showing a gap in awareness and understanding

This shows that AI is already a normal part of teen life, but schools and families are still trying to understand it. AI brings new learning opportunities, but also serious concerns about cheating, education, and future skills.

OpenAI releases GPT-5.4 Thinking and Pro in ChatGPT: How is it different

OpenAI has launched GPT-5.4, featuring two main versions in ChatGPT: GPT-5.4 Thinking and GPT-5.4 Pro. This update enhances reasoning, coding, and agent-style task execution for complex tasks.

Here’s a clear overview of the new features.

Better reasoning: Handles complex, multi-step questions and research effectively.

Improved coding: Integrates advanced coding skills seen in GPT-5.3 Codex.

Agent-style workflows: Completes real-world tasks like analysing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

More accurate outputs: Aims to reduce follow-up prompts by providing better answers initially.

Large context window: It can manage about 1 million tokens. This lets it analyse large documents or datasets.

🧠 GPT-5.4 Thinking (ChatGPT version)

This version is tailored for deep reasoning and research tasks.

Key capabilities:

Maintains context over long reasoning chains.

Handles complex questions requiring multiple sources.

Produces more structured long responses.

After Europe, WhatsApp will let rival AI companies offer chatbots in Brazil

WhatsApp Will Allow Rival AI Chatbots

AI companies can now offer chatbots on WhatsApp. They use the WhatsApp Business API for this. This means tools like ChatGPT can interact with users in the app. However, these companies must pay Meta to run their bots.

💰 Pricing for AI Chatbot Providers

Starting March 11, Meta will charge developers $0.0625. This fee is for each “non-template message” sent in Brazil. AI conversations can involve many messages, so costs for providers can add up quickly.

⚖️ Why Meta Is Doing This

Brazil’s competition regulator, CADE, ruled against Meta. They stopped Meta from blocking third-party AI chatbots. Regulators stated that WhatsApp dominates messaging in Brazil. Blocking rival AI assistants could harm competition in the AI market. Therefore, Meta must allow access where legally required.

🌍 Europe Did It First

This change mirrors a similar decision in Europe. Meta agreed to allow third-party AI assistants on WhatsApp for around 12 months. This move aims to prevent EU antitrust penalties.

📊 Why This Matters

This could change how AI assistants reach users. Messaging apps might become major platforms for AI distribution. AI companies could compete within WhatsApp conversations. Meta still retains control by charging for API access.
