How Americans are using AI at work, according to a new Gallup poll

av | feb 2, 2026 | Bluesky, Notiser, Threads

American workers adopted artificial intelligence into their work lives at a remarkable pace over the past few years, according to a new poll.

Some 12% of employed adults say they use AI daily in their job, according to a Gallup Workforce survey conducted this fall of more than 22,000 U.S. workers.

The survey found roughly one-quarter say they use AI at least frequently, which is defined as at least a few times a week, and nearly half say they use it at least a few times a year. That compares with 21% who were using AI at least occasionally in 2023, when Gallup began asking the question, and points to the impact of the widespread commercial boom that ChatGPT sparked for generative AI tools that can write emails and computer code, summarize long documents, create images or help answer questions.

Apple officially launched CarPlay Ultra last year, but only for Aston Martin vehicles. It’s the next-generation version of CarPlay that the company first teased at WWDC 2022 with a revamped design and deeper integration with the car itself.

Today, a new report from Bloomberg reveals that CarPlay Ultra will come to at least one major new car later this year …

CarPlay Ultra expansion

In his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that he’s been told CarPlay Ultra will launch for “least one major new Hyundai/Kia model in the second half of this year.”

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard that CarPlay Ultra could be destined for a future Hyundai car. The publication Top Gear reported last year that Hyundai’s upcoming IONIQ 3 EV will support the platform. The IONIQ 3 EV is expected to make its official debut in April and launch later this year.
