Nearly half (49%) of US adults are interested in AI-powered online search capabilities, per Morning Consult. Other popular applications of AI technology include recipes, roadside assistance, smart assistants, and product design based on consumer trends.

Beyond the chart: Right now, consumer interest is concentrated on using AI to simplify or automate tasks.
