Two Epoch AI/Ipsos surveys published Sep. 14, 2026, found that the share of US adults using AI at least six days a week rose from 8% in March 2026 to 19% in August 2026, while one-day-a-week use fell from 17% to 10%. The authors describe a shift toward routine AI use but caution that questionnaire changes between waves make frequency comparisons approximate.
A new survey from Epoch AI and Ipsos reveals that 20% of employed US adults now delegate at least one work task to AI, with adoption varying by task – from 57% in software development to 25% in record-keeping. While AI often provides partial support, full task replacement remains rare, and time savings are reported in about half of cases when AI handles most of the work. The findings highlight a gradual redistribution of tasks rather than widespread job displacement.
A survey by Epoch AI and Ipsos reveals that 80 percent of US adults using Claude weekly come from households earning over $100,000 annually, outpacing rivals like Microsoft Copilot at 64 percent and ChatGPT, Grok, and Google Gemini at 56 percent each.
