Results of the AI Survey

We recently conducted a survey with 118 participants to explore how professionals are engaging with AI tools. Respondents came from a wide range of industries—including education, healthcare, marketing, IT, and public administration. The results showed that ChatGPT is the clear favorite, valued for its versatility in writing, brainstorming, coding, and everyday problem-solving. Other tools like Grammarly, Canva AI, Notion AI, and Midjourney also stood out for their unique strengths. While many use AI daily or several times a week, concerns around accuracy, job displacement, ethical implications, and the learning curve were frequently noted. The feedback offers a valuable snapshot of how AI is shaping work today—and what questions still remain.
