このコンテンツについて
One of the most prominent trends is the rise of “AI analog.” Contrary to the stereotype that Gen Z wants everything digital and immediate, this cohort is embracing tools that blend advanced artificial intelligence with retro aesthetics. From journaling apps styled like typewritten diaries to AI-powered devices wrapped in tactile, vintage designs, this movement satisfies a craving for tech that feels personal and emotionally resonant. According to Future Festival, this trend reflects Gen Z’s desire for balance—meaning they want to connect technological progress with the comfort and simplicity of the past. It’s not just a style preference; it’s about making technology feel more human and thoughtful in a world of relentless connectivity.
This generational philosophy is also changing expectations around commerce and discovery. Salesforce’s Connected Shoppers Report finds that more than half of Gen Z already use AI for product discovery, and nearly two-thirds have started replacing traditional search engines with generative AI tools like ChatGPT for recommendations. Retailers are racing to adapt, rethinking everything from their product copy to the way their inventories are structured—aiming to anticipate needs rather than respond to keyword searches. This new “AI-driven discovery” mimics the brevity and serendipity of social media, but when Gen Z finds a product that clicks, they’re more likely to convert than previous generations.
Wellness and health tech are also experiencing a demographic shift, with Altera Digital Health sharing that 66% of Gen Z uses wellness apps, fitness trackers, and other digital tools to proactively monitor their health—much higher than other generations. The industry recognizes that Gen Z doesn’t just want convenient access; they expect seamless digital-first experiences, from downloading medical records to telehealth appointments. This expectation for intuitive, mobile-centric services is rippling across other sectors, notably in finance. PYMTS reports that credit unions and banks are being pushed to innovate as Gen Z demands frictionless digital platforms, bundled products, and, above all, simplicity.
The entertainment and emotional support space isn’t being left behind. As covered by Economic Times, more Gen Z individuals are turning to AI like ChatGPT for emotional support—using it to rephrase difficult conversations or manage stress. These tools are functioning as virtual companions and even relationship mediators, further blending the line between technology and personal life.
Meanwhile, brands that succeed with Gen Z understand the importance of authenticity and emotional resonance. Adweek highlights how Coca-Cola’s 2025 relaunch of its “Share A Coke” campaign, with an emphasis on connection and personalization, landed them a 15-point boost in purchase consideration among 18-to-24-year-olds. Hinge, the dating app, has also seen significant gains by positioning itself around authenticity and more meaningful connections—a key value for Gen Z.
This generational insistence on meaningful, balanced experiences is echoed in their approach to learning and AI literacy. As Nate’s Newsletter observes, the release of next-gen AI models like Grok 4 and ChatGPT-5 has made understanding AI’s inner workings a must-have skill for Gen Z, not just for engineers but for anyone aiming to participate in the modern economy. Accessible guides and cheat sheets are more popular than ever, equipping young people to confidently use and critique the tools shaping their world.
Even as cutting-edge models like Google’s Gemini 2.5 dominate headlines with smarter search, lifelike voice interactions, and new developer tools, the emphasis for Gen Z stays rooted in making technology accessible, flexible, and above all, human-centric. Whether through nostalgic design or seamless digital experiences, Gen Z’s decoding of technology is setting a blueprint for the future of innovation—a blueprint where emotional connection and technical sophistication are equally essential.
