Cyprus Youth Lead EU in Use of AI Tools, Eurostat Says

More than three‑quarters of young people in Cyprus used generative artificial‑intelligence tools in 2025, the highest rate in the EU, according to figures released by Eurostat.

Eurostat said 76.5% of Cypriots aged 16–24 used AI tools last year, well above the EU average of 63.8%.

Across the bloc, young people are integrating AI into many aspects of daily life. For personal use, 44.2% reported using AI tools, while 39.3% used them for education — compared with just 9.4% among the general population. Professional use remains lower at 15.8%, largely because many young people have not yet entered the workforce.

The highest youth‑AI usage rates were recorded in Greece (83.5%), Estonia (82.8%) and the Czech Republic (78.5%). The lowest were in Romania (44.1%), Italy (47.2%) and Poland (49.3%).
