70% of Dutch people don’t use generative AI

Large age-gap

The first results of the monitor are striking. 70% of respondents overall indicate that they have never used generative AI, such as ChatGPT. But there are large differences between age categories. For example, 74% of young people between the ages of 16 and 24 say they have used generative AI in the past year. For people aged 25 and over, it appears that 74% have never tried to generate text or photo with AI. ‘Today’s young people grew up with the internet. They have more confidence in experimenting with new technologies in their daily routines. We see this clearly in our monitor,’ says De Vreese, one of the research leaders at AlgoSoc.
