The Rapid Adoption of Generative AI
By late 2024, 45% of US adults aged 18-64 used genAI, with adoption faster than PCs or the internet at comparable stages.
Summary
Nationally representative surveys show 27% of employed respondents used it for work in the past week, with 1-7% of work hours assisted and time savings equivalent to about 1.4% of total hours.
