Heavy users of artificial intelligence by age groups.

The gap in AI usage across generations is already creating a new inequality in decision-making speed.

60% of users aged 18–24 actively use AI on a regular basis. In the 25–34 group, this drops to 40%, followed by 31% among 35–44, 26% in 45–54, and only 18% in the 55–60 segment.

This is not just a difference in “openness to technology.” It is a gap in speed of work, access to insights, and the ability to scale personal productivity. Younger audiences have already integrated AI into their daily workflows — from learning to professional tasks. Older groups tend to be more cautious and often remain at the level of experimentation or observation.

For businesses, this creates a new reality: teams, clients, and partners operate at different levels of AI maturity. This affects not only efficiency, but also communication styles and decision-making processes.

The question is no longer who is aware of AI, but who is actually using it as a working tool.

Do you take this gap into account in your team or development strategy?
