Daily AI usage in the U.S. has more than doubled in just six months
Epoch AI and Ipsos surveys found US adults using AI almost daily doubled from 8% to 19% between March and August 2026.
Two representative surveys by Epoch AI with Ipsos show the share of US adults using AI at least six days a week rose from 8% in March 2026 to 19% in August 2026. Occasional users (one day per week) fell from 17% to 10%, indicating a shift toward frequent use. The March survey included 2,017 participants and the August survey 1,016, both weighted to reflect the US population. Epoch AI cautions the results are not fully comparable due to changed question methodology, which may cause the August figures to underestimate usage.
