AI Use Soars Among Young Adults, Lags for Older Generations | JQJO

A new AP-NORC poll reveals that while 60% of Americans use AI for information searches, its adoption for work tasks and creative endeavors is significantly lower. Younger adults (74% under 30) are more likely to use AI for various tasks, including brainstorming and work projects. However, even among younger users, AI's role in areas like email drafting and shopping remains limited. The poll highlights a generational gap in AI usage, with older adults less inclined to utilize AI for creative tasks. While AI is increasingly integrated into younger generations' lives, its broader professional and creative application remains to be seen.
