"After becoming mainstream in 2023, generative artificial intelligence (AI) is
now transforming the way we live.

This technology is a type of AI which can generate text, images and other
content in response to prompts. In particular, it has transformed the way we
consume and create information and media.

For example, millions of people now use the technology to summarise lengthy
documents, draft emails and increase their productivity at work. Newsrooms have
also started experimenting with generative AI, and film companies are using it
to create actor digital doubles and even “digital clones” of actors who have
died.

These transformations are bound to increase in the coming months and years. So
too are the many concerns and controversies surrounding the use of generative
AI.

In the face of these complex and rapid developments, we surveyed more than
4,000 Australians to better understand their experiences with and attitudes
toward generative AI. Released today, our results paint a complicated picture –
and underscore the vital importance of improved media literacy programs."
