Recent developments in technology have accelerated the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on our lives. The ability of generative-AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude to both 'write' and 'read' texts in a human-like manner means they are set to play an increasingly important role in the literacy lives of children, young people and adults. The National Literacy Trust is interested in exploring how such platforms might influence, and potentially redefine, what it means to be literate in the digital age. This summary report explores children, young people's and teachers' attitudes, behaviour and confidence around using generative AI to support literacy and learning. Findings are based on data from more than 50,000 children and young people taking part in the Annual Literacy Survey, with a focus on more than 15,000 young people aged 13 to 18 and 1,228 teachers from primary and secondary schools across the UK.
