Two in every three students in Ireland have used generative AI products like ChatGPT this year, with over half of 16- to 29-year-olds saying they had used it in an education setting.

The Central Statistics Office has published data on how Irish people use the internet, and found that students were the most likely to have used AI in the last three months at 66%, while just under half of workers (46%) said they had used such tools.
