High Media Usage Among Australian Adults but Low Confidence in Artificial Intelligence
A recent national survey shows that a majority of Australian adults (65%) frequently use multiple forms of digital media daily, yet lack confidence in their digital media skills. Approximately 40% of respondents have tried text-based generative AI services but have a negative view of such technologies and wish for related regulations to mitigate potential risks. The survey also revealed that 80% of adults believe action should be taken to combat the spread of misinformation and express a desire to learn how to identify false information. Groups with lower education levels, older age, and lower household income are particularly affected.
