AI use by individuals surges across the OECD
More than one-third of individuals across the OECD used generative AI tools in 2025, highlighting how rapidly artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming part of everyday life. Uptake, however, remains uneven across population groups.
The largest divide is by age, with a gap of 53.6 percentage points, while differences by educational attainment and income level are also significant, both at around 21 percentage points. Usage is particularly high among students, with three-quarters of students aged 16 and over reporting use of generative AI tools. Adoption is also widespread among those connected to the labour market, including people in employment (41.1%) and those unemployed (36.7%). In contrast, retired and other inactive groups report much lower usage, at 12.5%.
