We maintain that most Americans have no idea how rapidly and dramatically AI and robotics will change our lives over the next five to ten years. How we work, how long we work, how we play, how we travel, how our factories operate, how we communicate, how long we live, will be profoundly and forever impacted.

Economist Jon Hartley at the Hoover institute just published this chart on the growing percentage of Americans who are accessing AI over just the past six months. The percentage has gone from zero to 50% in the blink of an eye. Many of these AI users aren’t even aware they are using it.
