Abstract
In September 2024, we presented results from the first nationally representative U.S. survey of generative AI adoption at work and nonwork settings, conducted in August 2024. Since then, we have conducted our survey—the Real-Time Population Survey—on a quarterly basis. In this blog post, we share an update on the state of generative AI adoption by U.S. workers and look for evidence of this technology’s impact in the broader economy.
To make our findings accessible, we are also releasing a public tracker with adoption rates across different settings (overall, work, nonwork) as well as some breakdowns by industry and occupation. The tracker also includes data on time savings by industry and occupation, which will be updated on a quarterly basis.
