Summary
A recent poll by the Associated Press and NORC has shown that 60% of American adults have used AI to search for information, with younger Americans leading the way in adoption for brainstorming, work co-ordination and AI companionship.
Only 16% of adults have used AI for companionship, but this number rises to 25% for adults under 30.
The survey also found that 74% of under 30s use AI for information searching, and 62% use it to brainstorm ideas compared to 20% of over 60s.
The study found that generally, Americans are reluctant to use AI in daily work situations, with only around a third using it for writing emails, creating or editing images or for entertainment.
The most common use for AI is currently searching the web, however, these figures may be higher as Google’s search page automatically generates AI responses that many may not recognise.
