84% of Gen Z uses AI to understand news: Study

Technology

A new recent study by Google and Kantar shows that a huge 84% of Gen Z uses generative AI tools to make sense of news—whether that's translating, clarifying, or adding context.
For this digital-first generation, catching up on world events has become more interactive and tailored than ever.

Gen Z's news consumption habits

Gen Z isn't just scrolling—they're fact-checking too.
Nearly half don't trust unverified sources online, and about 43% double-check info before sharing it (especially when it comes to health or finance).
The study also found that those in non-metro areas are even more likely to verify sensitive news than their city counterparts.
