A Fed survey indicates AI adoption in the US workplace is concentrated among higher earners and more educated workers. Some 66.3% of workers making more than $200,000 used AI tools at work over the last 12 months, compared with 51.6% of those earning $100,000 to $200,000, 40.2% of those making $50,000 to $100,000 and 15.9% of workers earning less than $50,000. College graduates were also far more likely to use AI at work than workers without a degree, at 58.7% versus 22.9%.

Usage also differed by work status, with 42.7% of full-time workers using AI compared with 24.7% of part-time workers. Among employees who use AI on the job, 68.0% said it makes their work easier and 56.7% said it boosts productivity, pointing to uneven adoption across the labor market even as users report clear benefits.
