Pew Survey Finds 49% of US Adults Now Use AI Chatbots

Nearly half of American adults now use artificial intelligence chatbots, marking a substantial shift in how the public interacts with generative technology. A recent survey by the Pew Research Center shows that 49 percent of US adults have used an AI chatbot at least once. This figure represents a sharp increase from the previous year when only 33 percent of adults reported similar usage.

Survey data reveals rapid acceleration in consumer uptake over a twelve-month period.

The study focuses on general-purpose AI chatbots rather than specialized software or hardware devices. ChatGPT remains the most widely used platform, with 44 percent of American adults reporting they have interacted with it. Gemini follows as the second most popular option at 24 percent usage among the same demographic.

Researchers surveyed US adults to track adoption rates and public sentiment regarding artificial intelligence tools. The data highlights a rapid acceleration in consumer uptake over a twelve-month period. This growth suggests that AI chatbots are moving from niche technical experiments into mainstream daily routines for many Americans.

The survey results indicate that while adoption is surging, the report does not break down usage patterns by age, income, or geographic region within the United States. The findings apply strictly to aggregate data collected from American adults. This limitation means specific demographic trends remain unconfirmed in this particular release.
