When quizzed on their top reasons for turning to AI for assistance in the run up to Christmas, AIPRM found that almost half of those who plan to do so (49%) said that they find it saves them time during the busy festive period. Meanwhile, just over a third (35%) of respondents want to use AI this Christmas due to their curiosity of how the bot can help them from day to day.
Christoph C. Cemper, the founder of AIPRM provides comment on the use of AI at Christmas: “The recent growth in the popularity of AI has been no secret, and has been at the centre of much debate for some time now.
“Despite this, people across the globe are embracing the technology and finding it useful for a plethora of tasks, be it in their working or personal lives. It's great to learn more from our survey about how Brits will be using AI for a variety of tasks this festive season, whether it be to plan their itineraries, creating Christmas shopping lists, or even writing cards and messages to loved ones.
“This curiosity amongst the nation when it comes to AI and how it can benefit our day to day lives is great to see, and there really are no ends to the benefits it can deliver. With Christmas being one of the busiest times of year for so many of us, we'd encourage as many people as possible to give AI a try and see how it can help them in aiding and streamlining their festive to-do list, be it time saving, cash saving, or just general creativity!"
