What does the public in six countries think of generative AI in news?
Dr Richard Fletcher and Prof. Rasmus Kleis Nielsen | Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism
From the executive summary of an online survey focused on understanding if and how people use generative artificial intelligence (AI), and what they think about its application in journalism and other areas of work and life across six countries (Argentina, Denmark, France, Japan, the U.K. and the United States):
ChatGPT is by far the most widely recognized generative AI product — around 50% of the online population in the six countries surveyed have heard of it. It is also by far the most widely used generative AI tool in the six countries surveyed. That being said, frequent use of ChatGPT is rare, with just 1% using it on a daily basis in Japan, rising to 2% in France and the UK, and 7% in the USA. Many of those who say they have used generative AI have used it just once or twice, and it is yet to become part of people’s routine internet use. …
- Just 5% across the six countries covered say that they have used generative AI to get the latest news.
