Hong Kong professionals lead global AI adoption, survey finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The study, conducted by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, found that generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini are the most popular among users for tasks such as drafting and summarizing.
