Gen-Z is the first generation to grow up fully online, facing the dual challenge of harnessing AI’s potential while protecting personal data. Nearly half of Gen-Z uses AI daily and two-thirds see its promise, yet most still distrust how it handles security. At ZETA, we bridge this gap by educating our generation on how AI uses data, why digital rights like privacy and free speech matter, and how advocacy can shape a fairer, more transparent digital future.
