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%).
