RIYADH: A study has revealed that 80 percent of Saudi adults now use AI tools, with one in three using them regularly.
This is almost double the number of adults in the US who report using one of the large language model-based chatbots — which was found to be 52 percent in a recent study by Elon University.
The findings are “a clear demonstration that technology and collaboration can unlock potential, and that we can directly contribute to the ambition of the Kingdom and their vision for the future,” said Anthony Nakache, MENA managing director for Google — which created the report with research agency Public First.
The study consisted of a poll surveying 1,059 adults and 370 business leaders based in the Kingdom in March 2025.
It also interviewed people and businesses about their experiences using Google technology and data services.
