Units:  Percent, Not Seasonally Adjusted

Frequency:  Quarterly

This series reports the share of adults aged 18-64 who used generative artificial intelligence for any purpose last week. Respondents who report using generative artificial intelligence are asked, separately for work and outside of work: "Did you use Generative AI [for your job/outside your job] LAST WEEK?" It covers all adults aged 18-64, counting as users last week only those who used it on at least one day in either setting. This series is by construction no higher than the corresponding adoption rate, because some respondents who use generative artificial intelligence did not use it last week. Data comes from the Real-Time Population Survey (RPS), a nationally representative online labor market survey of working-age adults aged 18-64 in the United States.
