Who are the generation beta children?

Artificial intelligence (AI) will play an important role in the lives of children born from January 1, 2025.  These children belong to a new generation known as Generation Beta.

According to international media reports, Generation Beta includes children born between 2025 and 2039. By 2035, they are expected to make up around 16 per cent of the world’s population.

Researcher Mark McCrindle says many members of this generation may live long enough to see the beginning of the next century in 2100.

Generation Beta children will grow up in a world filled with advanced technology. Self driving cars, smart wearable devices that monitor health and virtual reality could become normal parts of their daily lives.

While Generation Alpha witnessed the early development of smart technology and artificial intelligence Generation Beta is expected to grow up with AI and automation already deeply connected to everyday life.

However this generation will also face major challenges. Climate change, overcrowded cities and a growing world population could affect their future.

Experts believe that learning to adapt working together and caring for the environment will be important skills for these children. McCrindle has also highlighted the importance of understanding Generation Beta’s needs, values and priorities.

Their choices and ideas could play a major role in shaping the future of the world. As technology continues to develop Generation Beta is expected to experience a very different world from previous generations.
