If I told you young people are the fastest adopters of AI, would you be surprised? Unlikely. But, if I told you the biggest percentage increase of AI users in the past year was people 65+, you might give me a double-take! Today’s chart shows that 18-29 have embraced ChatGPT (an AI chatbot) faster than any other age group. But what caught my attention was the 65+ numbers! They’ve seen a big increase in users—a 150 percent increase from 4 percent to 10 percent in less than two years. Boomers are showing they don’t want to be left behind. |
In short order, ChatGPT has entered our lives and become part of a wide range of activities. It can help with everything from simple tasks to complex jobs, from crafting emails to researching topics to brainstorming ideas. Let me know if you use ChatGPT for anything. If you’ve never heard of it, that’s OK, too. The survey also showed that roughly 20 percent say they’ve heard nothing about this tool, released in November 2022. I welcome hearing from anyone about how they have incorporated ChatGPT into their daily work or family routines. It helps me to learn more about the direction AI may be taking. |
Pew Research Center, June 25, 2025. “34% of U.S. Adults have used ChatGPT, about double the share in 2023.” |
