Nearly a third of employed Americans under 30 used ChatGPT for work: Poll

More employed Americans have used the artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT for work since last year, with the biggest increase among the younger portion of the workforce, according to a Pew Research poll released Tuesday.

The survey found that 31 percent of employed Americans between 18 and 29 surveyed in February said they have used ChatGPT for tasks at work, up from 12 percent who said the same last March.

The number of employed Americans who said they use ChatGPT for work decreased by age group. Twenty-one percent of employed adults aged 30 to 49 said they use it, up from 8 percent last year, and just 10 percent aged 50 and older said the same, up from only 4 percent last year.





A model for future AI laws?

Utah Passes Artificial Intelligence Legislation

Utah is among the first in the nation to pass legislation aimed at regulating the burgeoning field of artificial intelligence (AI). The bill (SB0149), known as the Artificial Intelligence Policy Act, was signed by Governor Cox on March 13, 2024, and is set to take effect on May 1, 2024. The new legislation is made part of Utah consumer protection laws and introduces certain disclosure obligations for entities and professionals using AI systems. It also establishes the Office of Artificial Intelligence Policy (Office) and Artificial Intelligence Learning Laboratory Program (Program), which is tasked with analyzing and researching AI technologies to inform the state regulatory framework.

Such disclosure obligations fall into two categories with respect to the use of generative AI. The first category is a responsive disclosure obligation that applies to any act administered and enforced by the Utah Division of Consumer Protection (e.g., telemarketing, charitable solicitations, and other acts covered by U.C.A 13-2-1). It requires that a person who “uses, prompts, or otherwise causes generative AI to interact with a person” to clearly and conspicuously disclose that the person is interacting with generative AI if asked or prompted by the person.

The second category applies to any person who provides services of a “regulated occupation” (a newly defined term), defined as occupations regulated by the Utah Department of Commerce that require such person to obtain a license or state certification to practice the occupation (e.g., accountants, architects, therapists, and healthcare professionals, just to name a few). Those who provide services falling into this category must proactively disclose when they are interacting with generative AI or looking at material created by generative AI, in the provision of such services verbally at the start of an oral exchange or conversation, or through electronic messaging before a written exchange.
