Key stat: Among US adults who are very trusting of generative AI, 60% are men and 40% are women, according to Morning Consult. People who trust AI also tend to be millennials and have less than a college education.

Beyond the chart:

• The rise of generative AI comes with a slew of issues, from a surge in spam to—as the OpenAI CEO and other tech leaders warned last week—potential human extinction.
• Brands leveraging generative AI need to make sure they’re not alienating consumers in the process.

Put it to work:

• Evaluate how consumers will respond to generative AI use.
• Determine who will be most comfortable with AI chatbots.
