AI Adoption and Public Perception: The article, authored by Tom Singleton, addresses the disparity between the excitement surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) products like ChatGPT and their actual usage. A survey conducted by the Reuters Institute and Oxford University, involving 12,000 participants across six countries, revealed that only a small fraction of the UK population uses such AI tools daily1. The study highlights that while young adults are more inclined to adopt this technology, a significant portion of the public remains indifferent, with 30% of UK respondents unaware of prominent AI products. Despite the billions invested in AI development, its integration into daily internet habits is limited. The public’s expectations for AI’s societal impact are mixed, with optimism for its applications in science and healthcare but concerns about its role in news media and job security.
