Generation Beta is a proposed name for people born from 2025 to 2039. The label is newer than earlier generation names, and its definition may change as researchers, publishers, and the public adopt or revise it.

Children in this period are expected to grow up with AI-supported services and deeply connected technology as ordinary parts of life. It is too early to make firm claims about a cohort whose experiences are still unfolding.

Use the label as a starting point for historical context rather than a complete description of any individual. Birth-year ranges also differ between researchers and publications.
