Generative Al Use at Work, by Age I BLOOMBERG I 05.12.2024
ChatGPT seems to have taken the world by storm in a very short time, but how does it compare with past leaps in technology? A working paper suggests that the US adoption of generative artificial intelligence has been much faster than that of personal computers and the internet.
Researchers from the St. Louis Fed, Vanderbilt University and Harvard Kennedy School found that two years after the release of ChatGPT, the pioneer in mass-market AI, adoption rates were nearly double those of PCs three years after the release of the IBM computer in 1981.
Unsurprisingly, younger generations are using generative AI more and more often than older ones. And like with PCs, users tend to be more educated and higher-income workers. Men are also more likely to use generative AI at work and at home, compared with women, the researchers found.
