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, including the UK, with only 2% of British respondents saying they use such tools on a daily basis. But 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. The findings were based on responses to an online questionnaire fielded in six countries: Argentina, Denmark, France, Japan, the UK, and the USA. The majority expect generative AI to have a large impact on society in the next five years, particularly for news, media and science. Most said they think generative AI will make their own lives better. When asked whether generative AI will make society as a whole better or worse, people were generally more pessimistic.
