96% of Chinese workers use AI weekly, survey finds
A new survey by University College London reveals that 96% of Chinese respondents use AI at work every week, and 79% believe university students should be taught to use AI effectively. Only less than 10% of the Chinese public worry about AI destroying jobs, reflecting a 'strikingly positive' attitude toward the technology. The poll, conducted in collaboration with London-based consultancy Public First, suggests China is better positioned than many nations to lead in AI due to widespread public confidence in its impact on work, education, and skills.
