More teens are interested in investing, and they’re using AI to help them. Teens flipping Bitcoin profits and investing their YouTube earnings are part of a bigger shift: the average Gen Z investor is buying stocks by 19-years-old, according to Charles Schwab, way earlier than Millennials or Gen X ever did. According to YPulse, 55% of 13-17-year-olds have already used a financial tool and social media platforms and now AI are go-to sources for financial advice. Whether it’s running market scenarios or choosing stocks, AI is helping young investors feel more confident by offering advice in an understandable way. Still, experts warn that while trading is getting more mainstream—one 16-year-old called it “just normal now” at his school—there’s a fine line between smart investing and falling for meme stock hype. It’s clear AI could be part of how this gen learns about money in general—but for now, it’s a lot of hustle, a little bit of ChatGPT, and a new kind of Wall Street dream. (Vice)
