Figures coming out of this show that more than half of the population now use AI, which is up from one third a year ago.

And that's a seismic jump in the adoption of this technology.

Now, usage is up.

It's growing rapidly.

Another study which has just come out, a major new King's College London study on the UK's attitudes to AI and the future of work paints a story of, I guess, concern.

So, James, half of the public...

say they would rather avoid AI.

41% say they are afraid of it.

And only 24% think it's positive for humanity.

I mean, seven in 10, James, it's seven in 10 are worried about the economic impact of AI job losses.

But I suppose there is a difference between doing your job better and efficiencies.

They're two kind of different, subtle, but different things.

Do you think you do your job better now because of AI?

Yeah, maybe agree on the slight, the emphasis on slight.

I don't think it's made a huge difference.

I think the efficiency thing is interesting.

There's probably a few things in which, you know, I can get a couple of tasks done a little bit quicker because of the use of AI.

You know, you do see a lot now, don't you?

Even quite kind of fast.

To be polite, non-technical people will put PowerPoint presentations, for example, into Copilot and pull out key points and notes and take out.
