Gallup Finds One-Quarter of U.S. Workers Use AI Weekly
Gallup's Oct. 30-Nov. 13, 2025, workforce survey of 22,368 employed U.S. adults found 12% use AI daily and roughly one-quarter use it at least a few times a week.
Overview
The Gallup Workforce survey conducted Oct. 30-Nov. 13, 2025, of 22,368 employed U.S. adults found 12% use AI daily and roughly one-quarter use AI at least a few times a week, Gallup said.
Adoption is concentrated in technology and finance, with about 6 in 10 technology workers saying they use AI frequently and about 3 in 10 using it daily, the survey found.
Sam Manning, a fellow at the Centre for the Governance of AI, said research he co-authored identified some 6.1 million U.S. workers heavily exposed to AI and less equipped to adapt, about 86% of whom are women.
Gallup found nearly half of workers use AI at least a few times a year and noted usage is lower in retail, health care and manufacturing compared with tech and finance.
A separate Gallup Workforce poll in 2025 found 50% of workers said it was "not at all likely" AI would eliminate their job within five years, down from about 60% in 2023, Gallup said.
Analysis
Center-leaning sources present this reporting as broadly neutral, emphasizing empirical Gallup data and balancing pro-adoption anecdotes (Home Depot associate, banker) with cautionary perspectives (researchers on vulnerable workers, pastor’s reservations). They note industry/government promotion and divergent economist views, using mixed examples and statistics rather than emotive language or one-sided sourcing.
