They show these adoption measures can sharpen analyses of genAI's labor-market impact, and that standard exposure scores explain only part of actual use. https://aifaultline.com/research/p/doi-10-1287-mnsc-2025-02523/https://aifaultline.com/research/p/doi-10-1287-mnsc-2025-02523/Tue, 20 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000Nationally representative US surveys show that by late 2024, 45% of adults aged 18-64 used generative AI and 27% of workers had used it for work in the past week. Work adoption has been faster than for the personal computer; 1-7% of work hours are assisted by generative AI, with reported time savings equal to 1.4% of all work hours.
