AI attitudes and behaviour: researcher profiles [interactive]

AI attitudes and behaviour: researcher profiles [interactive]

Researchers’ attitudes to AI vary significantly across career stage, subject area, and country. While 76% of researchers say they have used some form of AI tool in their research, our survey uncovered unexpected generational differences and polarised opinions on the impact of AI.

We recently conducted a survey of over 2,000 researchers to hear directly from the research community about how they are reacting to and using AI in their work. A statistical cluster analysis identified eight groups illustrating the spectrum of attitudes, from ‘Challengers’ (those fundamentally against AI), through to ‘Pioneers’ (those fully embracing AI).
