ChatGPT Tops Roblox in India: Kids' AI App Usage Soars

ChatGPT is now one of the top ten most-used apps among children in India. This highlights how generative artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of young people's daily digital habits. Kaspersky data shows ChatGPT accounts for 2.41 percent of app usage for Indian children over the past six months. It ranks seventh on a list of the 20 most-used apps and is the only AI chatbot in the top ten. Video and messaging platforms still dominate, with YouTube and WhatsApp leading the rankings. ChatGPT ranks ahead of apps like Zoom and Roblox. What's interesting is that children are using AI chatbots for homework help, answering questions, and everyday conversations. This trend isn't just in India. A global study by Kaspersky found that AI-related apps and services climbed significantly in children's Google searches. The bottom line is that AI has become a daily tool for children, not just a new gadget. This shift makes digital literacy and online safety education more important than ever for parents and educators.
