AI is everywhere right now, but is everyone actually using it? For some people, tools powered by artificial intelligence have already become part of everyday life. Others only use them occasionally, and plenty of people still don’t use them at all. A recent Bohemian Research survey collected through MultiPolls asked people in the United States how often they use AI tools in their everyday lives. The answers show a pretty interesting divide.
Almost 3 in 10 respondents use AI every day
28.8% of respondents said they use AI tools daily. Another 16.7% use them weekly, bringing the share of people using AI at least once a week to 45.5%. But regular AI users were only one side of the story. The single most popular answer was actually “rarely,” chosen by 29.6% of respondents.
And almost one in four, 24.9%, said they never use AI tools at all. So while AI may feel like an everyday part of life online, the survey suggests that usage is still far from universal.
Men were much more likely to be regular AI users
One of the biggest gaps in the results appeared between men and women. Among men, 58.0% said they use AI tools at least once a week. Among women, that figure was 41.0%.
The difference was even more noticeable when looking specifically at daily use: 42.0% of men said they use AI every day, compared with 23.7% of women. Women were also more than twice as likely to say they never use AI. 29.8% of women selected “never,” compared with 13.7% of men.
AI use peaked among people aged 30–44
You might expect the youngest respondents to be the biggest AI users, but that wasn’t quite what the results showed. The highest level of regular AI use appeared among respondents aged 30–44, where 55.8% said they use AI at least weekly. People aged 18–29 were close behind at 53.7%. After that, usage dropped with age.
Among respondents aged 45–59, 41.6% reported using AI at least once a week. For those aged 60 and older, the figure fell to 30.8%.
College graduates stood out too
Education was another area where the responses looked quite different. Among respondents with a bachelor’s degree or higher, 66.7% said they use AI tools at least once a week. For respondents without a bachelor’s degree, the share was 41.4%. That makes education one of the clearest dividing lines in the survey when it comes to frequent AI use.
The AI usage picture in numbers
Here’s how the results break down:
- 28.8% use AI tools every day.
- 16.7% use them weekly.
- Together, 45.5% use AI at least once a week.
- 29.6% said they use AI rarely — the most common individual answer.
- 24.9% said they never use AI tools.
- 58.0% of men use AI at least weekly, compared with 41.0% of women.
- AI use was highest among respondents aged 30–44, at 55.8%.
- 66.7% of respondents with a bachelor’s degree or higher reported using AI at least weekly.

Daily user? Once a week? Only when you really need it? Or not interested in AI at all?
