| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary The study examines the spatial disparities in knowledge and adoption of ChatGPT, a new generative AI tool, across the United States. By analyzing search query data at state and county levels, researchers found that West Coast states had the highest rates of users searching for ChatGPT, while Appalachian and Gulf states had persistently low rates. Urbanized counties with more educated residents, higher economic status, and larger Asian populations were more likely to adopt the technology. The study’s findings highlight the potential for generative AI tools to exacerbate existing digital divides. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary Generative artificial intelligence can be a game-changer, but it might also widen the gap between people who have access to these tools and those who don’t. This study looked at how people across the United States were using ChatGPT, a new AI tool that can generate text and answer questions. The researchers found that some parts of the country were much more likely to use ChatGPT than others. For example, states on the West Coast were more likely to search for ChatGPT online, while areas in the Appalachian and Gulf regions had lower rates of searching. The study suggests that people who are more educated, have higher incomes, and live in urban areas are more likely to adopt new technologies like ChatGPT. |
