中文摘要 AI 辅助
生成式 AI 正在迅速进入青少年的日常生活，而这一时期正是他们认知、社交和情感发展的关键阶段。然而，AI 的普及速度已超过关于青少年自身如何体验、理解并协商其在生活中日益扩展作用的相关证据。我们利用经过验证的基于关键词的检索方法以及人机协同、LLM 辅助的主题分析，考察了 2023 年 1 月至 2026 年 7 月期间 r/teenagers 上关于 AI 的讨论。AI 相关讨论随时间显著增加，对 11,083 条经过分析编码的帖子进行的研究揭示了八个相互关联的体验领域。日常和社交使用最为普遍（占 36.8%），而讨论日益转向真实性、个人控制与安全以及未来人类角色。在各个领域中，青少年质疑 AI 何时应支持或替代人类思维与创造力、对话式 AI 如何改变人际关系和能动性感知、什么仍可被视为真实、谁控制个人信息和表征，以及哪些机会和角色应保留给人类。这些发现将青少年使用 AI 定位为不仅仅是技术采纳，而是对 AI 在日常生活中的地位和边界进行的一场新兴协商。支持这一转变需要发展适龄的 AI 素养、心理和社会支持，以及保护青少年能动性、隐私、人际关系和人类发展机会的 AI 系统和政策。
英文摘要
Generative AI is rapidly entering adolescents' everyday lives during a critical period of cognitive, social and emotional development. Yet its adoption is outpacing evidence on how adolescents themselves experience, understand and negotiate its expanding role in their lives. We examined AI-related discourse on r/teenagers from January 2023 to July 2026 using validated keyword-based retrieval and a human-in-the-loop, LLM-assisted thematic analysis. AI-related discussion increased substantially over time, and 11,083 analytically coded posts revealed eight interconnected domains of experience. Everyday and social use was most prevalent (36.8 percent), while discourse increasingly shifted toward authenticity, personal control and safety, and future human roles. Across domains, adolescents questioned when AI should support or substitute for human thinking and creativity, how conversational AI changes relationships and perceptions of agency, what can still be considered authentic, who controls personal information and representation, and what opportunities and roles should remain human. These findings position adolescent AI use not simply as technology adoption, but as an emerging negotiation over AI's place and boundaries in everyday life. Supporting this transition will require developmentally appropriate AI literacy, psychological and social support, and AI systems and policies that protect adolescents' agency, privacy, relationships and opportunities for human development.
