AI Hype vs. Reality: Are We Really Using It?

The Great AI Disconnect

While AI technologies like ChatGPT are creating waves in tech circles and media, actual usage by the general public appears minimal.

According to a survey by the Reuters Institute and Oxford University, only a small fraction of people in the UK use such AI tools on a daily basis, suggesting a significant disconnect between the enthusiasm of innovators and the day-to-day utility perceived by the public.

Who's Tuning In?

• Young adults between 18 to 24 years old are the most active users, showing a relatively higher adoption rate.

• Overall, the broader public remains either sceptical or simply unaware of the practical benefits AI might offer in their daily lives.

Public Sentiments: Mixed Feelings

Optimism about AI’s potential contributions to scientific advancement and healthcare contrasts sharply with concerns over its implications for news, media, and employment.

The public's wary eye on AI's integration into sensitive areas like journalism and job markets reflects a cautious approach to its broader societal integration.

What Do We Think?

The survey’s findings hint at a crucial need for better public education on AI's capabilities and benefits to increase engagement.

It may also be necessary for developers and companies to create more user-friendly AI applications that align closely with everyday needs and demonstrate clear value to average users.
