The Information’s Readers Use AI—and Pay for It

An overwhelming majority of The Information’s readers say they use artificial intelligence services such as ChatGPT in either their personal or their professional lives, and two-thirds of that group pay for at least one service. That’s according to our latest monthly survey, which also found readers more optimistic about the outlook for tech than at any time since we began the surveys in February.

Nearly 90% of respondents said they use new, flashy AI tools either for work or in their personal lives, including 58% who said they use these services for both work and leisure. Moreover, respondents are pleased with the services—almost 87% of people who use AI expect to use it more next year. More than 54% of people who use AI said they would continue using paid versions of these services next year, and another 30% said they “probably” would.
