一项针对2000名成年人的研究发现，49%的受访者乐于让技术接管从膳食计划到每周采购等琐碎家务，24%的人甚至愿意让科技产品替他们打扫房屋。
一项研究表明，英国人热衷于让人工智能（AI）接管诸如每周购物、膳食计划甚至发送生日祝福等任务。这项对2000名成年人开展的调查发现，近半数受访者乐意让AI处理某些日常琐事。
调查显示，四分之一的英国人愿意让AI清洁他们的房屋，而其他人则倾向于委托AI管理社交日程或代为预订假期。为节省开支，三分之一的人希望AI能比较保险和宽带报价，从而找到最优惠的方案。
研究显示，四分之三的英国人已在不同程度上使用人工智能，其中15%的人每天都会使用。然而，尽管大多数人对自身理解AI的能力充满信心，仍有26%的人认为自己对此知之甚少。
这项研究由Currys委托进行，为其即将于今年10月首次举办的"AI-Mazing Awards"（人工智能卓越奖）预热，该奖项旨在表彰最佳人工智能零售产品。品牌人工智能发言人凯特琳·梅勒（Caitlin Mellor）表示："人工智能已不仅是科幻电影中的概念——它早已融入我们的家庭生活和购物场景中。"
我们的研究表明，尽管许多人对人工智能的真正含义仍不确定，但当它能让生活更轻松时，人们非常乐意使用它。就这项技术而言，我们实际上才刚刚踏上征程——它改善生活的潜力是巨大的。
五分之一的人对该技术表示担忧，另有三分之一的人虽感好奇但仍持谨慎态度。但总体而言，七成受访者渴望了解更多人工智能知识，这表明即便心存顾虑者也未完全排斥它——其中五分之一的人更表现出兴奋与乐观态度。
由OnePoll开展的这项研究发现，25%的人工智能使用者将其视为朋友，18%的人曾向人工智能寻求情感生活方面的建议。三分之二的受访者依赖人工智能进行心理治疗咨询、健康建议以及更广泛的生活指导。
在这些用户中，49%的人选择采纳人工智能的建议，而非朋友或伴侣的意见。调查还显示，47%的用户在使用后会向这项技术致谢，39%的用户在提出请求时会使用礼貌用语。
Currys公司人工智能发言人凯特琳·梅勒（Caitlin Mellor）补充道：“我们热忱引导消费者迎接人工智能革命。这项技术潜力巨大，已经深刻改变了人们的日常生活。我们的奖项将重点展示当前发展最迅猛的技术领域中一些最优秀的人工智能产品。”
A study of 2,000 adults found 49 per cent would happily let the tech take over certain menial tasks from meal planning to the weekly shop - with 24 per cent content to have it clean their home
Brits are keen for artificial intelligence (AI) to take over tasks such as doing the weekly shop, planning meals and even sending birthday messages, according to a study. The research, which surveyed 2,000 adults, found that almost half of us would be happy to let AI handle certain mundane tasks.
It showed a quarter of Brits would be willing to let AI clean their home, while others would entrust AI handle their social calendars and book holidays on their behalf. To help save money , a third would want it to compare insurance and broadband quotes to find the best deals.
The study revealed that three quarters of Brits already use AI to some extent, with 15 per cent using it on a daily basis. However, while the majority feel confident in their understanding of AI, 26 per cent don't feel quite so knowledgeable.
The research was commissioned by Currys ahead of its first AI-Mazing Awards this October, which celebrates the best AI-enabled retail products. AI spokesperson for the brand, Caitlin Mellor, said: "AI isn't just something from sci-fi movies - it's already in our homes and shopping baskets.
"Our research shows that while many people are still unsure what AI really is, they're very open to using it when it makes life easier. We're really only at the very beginning of the journey when it comes to this tech C its potential to improve our lives is immense."
A fifth expressed concern and worry about the technology , and while a third are curious they are also cautious. But overall, seven in ten are eager to learn more about AI suggesting that even those who are apprehensive about it aren't completely closed off to it, with a fifth excited and optimistic.
The research, conducted by OnePoll, found that 25 per cent of adopters consider AI to be their friend, with 18 per cent having asked it for help with their love life. Two thirds have relied on it for therapy sessions, wellbeing advice, and more general life guidance.
Among those who've done so, 49 per cent have chosen to follow the advice of AI rather than that of a friend or partner. It also emerged that 47 per cent of users thank the tech for its help after using it, while 39 per cent say please when making requests.
Currys' AI spokesperson, Caitlin Mellor added: "We're passionate about guiding consumers through the AI revolution. "The potential is massive, with the tech already making a huge difference to people's day-to-day lives. Our awards will highlight some of the very best AI-powered goods available in what is arguably the fastest growing technological advancement at the moment."
