"We have a new poll from the AP NORC Center for Public Affairs Research about how people are using artificial intelligence in their daily lives. The big one is search. Most US adults, about 60%, say they’ve used AI to search for information. About 4 in 10 are using it for tasks like work and drafting emails. One of the big takeaways from the poll though is that young people are the ones who are leaning into AI. Most US adults under 30 say they’ve used AI for brainstorming and coming up with ideas, something that’s much less common among older adults. We talked to Courtney, a 34-year-old woman in Des Moines, Iowa, who uses ChatGPT to help her meal plan. Courtney is using it to calculate the nutritional value of food and reduce food waste in her life."

"Others are more skeptical, so while there are plenty of people who don’t seem to be using AI beyond their search engines, it’s clearly appealing to the youngest, most tech-savvy people. And as AI becomes more of a fixture in their lives, we could see even wider adoption of this technology."

STORYLINE:
Most U.S. adults say they use artificial intelligence to search for information, but fewer are using it for work, drafting email or shopping.
Younger adults are most likely to be leaning into AI, with many using it for brainstorming and work tasks.
The new findings from an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll show that 60% of Americans overall — and 74% of those under 30 — use AI to find information at least some of the time.
The poll highlights the ubiquity of AI in some areas — as well as its limits in others. Only about 4 in 10 Americans say they have used AI for work tasks or coming up with ideas, a sign that the tech industry’s promises of highly productive AI assistants still haven’t touched most livelihoods after years of promotion and investment.
At the same time, wider AI adoption by younger Americans shows that could change.
There’s a particularly large age divide on brainstorming: About 6 in 10 adults under age 30 have used AI for coming up with ideas, compared with only 2 in 10 of those age 60 or older. Young adults are also more likely to use AI to come up with ideas at least “daily.”
Younger adults are more likely than older ones to say they have used artificial intelligence to help with various tasks, the poll shows.
Most don’t use AI for companionship — but it’s more common for young adults
