New research by Kaspersky shows that artificial intelligence is taking on new roles in various areas today. For example, respondents see AI as a team member at work and almost a third (29%) believe that AI can be a fairer boss than a human being due to impartiality. In addition, 41 percent of respondents expect children to be taught through virtual experiences and Metaverses in the near future.
AI is pism up and it is therefore not surprising that many people are looking for the possibilities it can bring. Based on statistics from Similarweb, ChatGPT, one of the world’s most popular chatbots, has had 153 million visits in the first month after its launch in November 2022. In April 2024, it reached a peak of 2 billion visits. In light of the rapid developments in AI, Kaspersky has conducted an in-depth investigation into the current level of trust in AI. The research looked at the role of AI, from workplace management positions to helping important life-making decisions.
Nearly half of respondents (48%) believe that AI is already an inevitable part of their lives, with 38 percent positive about AI’s potential to create exciting opportunities and improve the future. The majority of respondents believe AI has creative capabilities – 64 percent believe AI is a credible producer of artwork.
Half of the respondents (50%) would like to use AI to make their daily lives more efficient. AI can therefore be considered as a companion and assistant in everyday life. 38 percent of respondents want to use an AI chatbot to have online conversations, and 25 percent would use it to help them find the right partner on a dating app. In fact, 44 percent believe that human relationships will change with the impact of AI as virtual characters replace real partners.
