Young people aged 18-29 (41%) and residents of the capital (37%) have the greatest experience of using AI.
At the same time, the share of Ukrainians who have used ChatGPT has increased: 33% vs. 26% in April 2023. The highest rates of use of the OpenAI chatbot are also among young people aged 18-29 (47%), Kyiv residents (46%), and people who characterize their financial situation as above average (41%).
Also, compared to April 2023, the share of those who used artificial intelligence-based image creation services has increased (13% vs. 10% in April 2023). For a third of users, Chat GTP is more of an entertainment than a reliable source of information.
