Method & caveats. Share of employed adults (18–64) who report using generative AI for their job, from the Real-Time Population Survey's quarterly generative-AI module (Bick, Blandin & Deming; hosted by the St. Louis Fed on FRED as release 6). Waves from August 2024, stamped by FRED at the start of each quarter. An online panel with a stated method, not a federal statistical agency product. Annual figure is the average of the year's waves.
