1、January,2026Global AI Adoption in 2025 A Widening Digital DivideGlobal AI Adoption in 2025 A Widening Digital DivideExecutive SummaryGlobal adoption of artificial intelligence continued to rise in the second half of 2025,increasing by 1.2 percentage points compared to the first half of the year,with

2、 roughly one in six people worldwide now using generative AI tools,remarkable progress for a technology that only recently entered mainstream use.Despite progress in AI adoption,the data shows a widening divide:adoption in the Global North grew nearly twice as fast as in the Global South.As a result

3、,24.7 percent of the working age population in the Global North is now using these tools,compared to only 14.1 percent in the Global South.AI Diffusion by Economy H2 2025UAE64%Singapore60.9%AI User Share10%Insufficient Data10-19%20-29%30-39%40%Ireland44.6%France44%Norway46.4%RegionH1 2025 AI Diffusi

6、soft AI Economy Institute,we continue to refine how we measure AI diffusion globally,including how adoption varies across countries in ways that best advance priorities such as scientific discovery and productivity gains.For this report,we rely on the strongest cross-country measure available today,
