Very few people are regularly using 'much hyped' artificial intelligence (AI) products like ChatGPT, a survey suggests. Researchers surveyed 12,000 people in six countries, with only 2% of British respondents saying they use such tools on a daily basis.
The study, from the Reuters Institute and Oxford University, says young people are bucking the trend, with 18 to 24-year-olds the most eager adopters of the tech. Dr Richard Fletcher highlighted a 'mismatch' between AI hype and public interest.
For all the money and attention lavished on generative AI, it is yet to become part of people's routine internet use. Dr Fletcher highlighted that 30% of people in the UK are not even aware of prominent generative AI products like ChatGPT.
The new generation of AI products sparked debates on their impact, from optimistic views of boosting economic growth to pessimistic claims of being a threat to humanity. Research aimed to understand public expectations, finding varied perspectives on the potential impact of generative AI.
