This share is nearly twice as high as the share of people in general population who used these tools (32.7% of those aged 16-74).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ecl-u-type-paragraph\">Young people are introducing the use of generative AI across different areas of life. The use of generative AI for private purposes was more common among young people (44.2%) than among the general population (25.1%). As expected, people in the younger age group were more likely to use AI tools for formal education (39.3%), compared with 9.4% in the general population. In contrast, the professional use was relatively similar between these age groups (15.8% vs 15.1%), as many young people have yet to enter the labour market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p class=\"ecl-u-type-paragraph ecl-u-type-align-center\">Source dataset: isoc_ai_iaiu<\/p>\n<p class=\"ecl-u-type-paragraph\">Among EU countries, the highest shares of people aged 16-24 using generative AI tools were recorded in Greece (83.5%), Estonia (82.8%) and Czechia (78.5%).
