A recent Pew Research poll indicates that 50% of adult Americans use AI chatbots, with 25% using them daily. This marks an increase from 33% reported in the summer of 2024. However, only 16% of respondents believe AI will positively impact society. OpenAI's ChatGPT is the most utilized chatbot, with 44% of Americans reporting usage, followed by Google's Gemini at 24%. The survey shows that 51% of U.S. adults do not use AI chatbots, while 25% use them several times a week or less. Usage varies by age, with 66% of 18- to 29-year-olds using AI, but this group is also the most skeptical about its societal impact. Among those aged 18-29, 48% believe AI will negatively affect society in the next 20 years. In contrast, older age groups show less skepticism. The poll also indicates that higher-income individuals are more likely to use AI chatbots. The primary uses of AI include searching for information (42%) and tasks at work (38%). Concerns about information security are prevalent, with 71% believing AI will make personal information less secure. Additionally, 67% of Americans express little confidence in the government's ability to regulate AI. The survey highlights a significant lack of interest in AI chatbots among non-users, with 83% stating they are not interested in using them.
