If you just found out about Generation Alpha, brace yourself for a new crop of kids set to debut on Jan. 1. Generation Beta will start arriving in 2025 — and some experts predict they will be immersed in artificial intelligence and technology even more than the generations before them.

Spanning from 2025 to around 2039, this cohort follows Gen Alpha (2010–2024), Gen Z (1996–2010), and millennials (1981–1996). As with past generations, these dates are flexible, reflecting the evolving nature of generational definitions.
