Gen Z grows wary of AI as learning worries rise, Gallup finds

Gallup’s survey with the Walton Family Foundation and GSV Ventures finds Gen Z’s sentiment toward artificial intelligence growing more negative: 31% feel angry toward AI that speeds up tasks (up from last year) and only 22% feel excited (down from 36%). Among K-12, 74% say AI likely to make learning harder, a view shared by 83% of Gen Z adults. AI adoption is slowing (51% use it weekly), while 52% say knowing how to use AI will be needed in college. The report notes rising concerns about AI’s impact on work and education as colleges, OpenAI and Google expand AI tools.

Gen Z's wary love affair with AI: angry yet hooked

A Gallup poll of nearly 1,600 people aged 14–29 finds Gen Z’s enthusiasm for AI has cooled since last year—only 18% are hopeful and 22% excited, while 31% feel angry and anxiety remains around 40%. Despite this, more than half use AI weekly, and most expect it to be needed for higher education or future careers. Gen Z sees AI as useful but worries about its long‑term effects on learning and career readiness, and many now view workplace AI risks as outweighing benefits.

Gen Z’s AI Adoption Hits a Plateau as Hope Fades

A Gallup poll of ages 14–29 finds Gen Z’s daily AI use has plateaued, with rising anxiety and fading hope about AI’s benefits. While curiosity remains, concerns about mental health, the job market, and other risks accompany a skepticism toward productivity gains from AI, and most Gen Z respondents prefer human-made work. The trend suggests this tech-native generation could shape AI adoption in the workforce and potentially influence hiring, even as major firms invest heavily in AI; experts say firms must address broader social impacts beyond just productivity boosts.

Gen Z's AI optimism fades as anger grows over career prospects

A Gallup-led survey of 14–29-year-olds shows Gen Z's feelings about AI cooling: excitement drops to 22% in 2026, hope to 18%, while anger rises to 31%, driven by concerns that AI could dim entry-level job prospects. Yet daily AI use remains steady, and many Gen Z respondents expect to need AI skills for college or work after high school, signaling cautious acceptance despite waning enthusiasm.

AI in Everyday Life Surges While Trust Slips, Quinnipiac Poll Finds

A Quinnipiac national poll finds Americans are using AI more in daily life but remain wary: trust in AI-generated information is low (only about 21% say they trust it most or almost all of the time), a majority (55%) think AI will do more harm than good in day-to-day life, and 70% expect AI to reduce job opportunities with Gen Z the most pessimistic about the labor market. Americans call for greater transparency and regulation, oppose AI for military targeting at higher rates, yet hold nuanced views on AI in healthcare, education, and political ads. The survey of 1,397 adults (±3.3 percentage points) also shows widespread experience with AI tools and varying confidence in spotting AI-generated media across generations.

Boy Kibble: Gen Z's Easy High-Protein Meal Trend

Healthline’s Health News piece explains the viral “boy kibble” trend—Gen Z men sharing a simple ground beef and white rice meal to meet protein goals affordably and with minimal cooking. While it can be convenient and nutrient-dense if vegetables and varied grains are added, experts caution against eating it as the sole daily diet due to potential fiber, calcium, and micronutrient gaps, recommending batch-cooking with veggies, rotating carbs, and adding flavor to keep it balanced.

Ditching the feeds: how one movement urges app abstinence to reclaim real life

Gabriela Nguyen, a 24-year-old Harvard-affiliated founder, champions 'appstinence'—a phased approach encouraging people to cut back on social media. Through her group, begun in 2024, she promotes the 5D method (decrease, deactivate, delete, downgrade, depart) and peer coaching to redesign users' relationship with tech. After years of struggle with Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok and a move to a largely offline life (including a dumb phone and ad-free tools), Nguyen now advocates prioritizing real-life connections and has seen rising demand for guidance and events from others seeking to reduce digital reliance.

Gen Z icon Balen Shah poised to lead Nepal after landslide win

Nepal's 35-year-old ex-rapper Balendra Shah, known as Balen, looks set to become prime minister after his Rastriya Swatantra Party secured a landslide in Nepal's first election after youth-led protests, winning a large majority of direct seats and signaling a generational shift. Shah, who previously served as Kathmandu mayor, faces high expectations to tackle corruption and governance while navigating Nepal's bureaucracy and delicate foreign policy balance with India and China.
