French Children’s AI Use Survey
Thursday 22nd October, 2026
Interface commissioned YouGov to survey French children and their parents about AI use, revealing that parents underestimate how often their children use it. The striking gap — 40% of 11- to 12-year-olds use general-purpose AI weekly, but only 26% of parents realise it — gave the findings a clear news hook for a wider debate about children’s online safety.
Why it worked: It weaponised a clean perception gap (kids’ self-reported AI use vs parents’ estimates) with fresh, nationally representative data amid active regulation news.
The lesson: Consider fielding a quick split-survey exposing a parent–child, user–boss, or buyer–seller perception gap tied to a live policy moment.
