Japan has the highest levels of in-depth awareness of AI, with 53% of individuals surveyed saying they have heard or read a substantial amount about the subject, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey.

Alongside Japan, France, at 52%, and Germany, at 51%, also reported high levels of in-depth awareness or knowledge of the subject, with the global median being 34%, according to the survey released last week.

When it came to overall awareness — which combined the figures of people who have heard or read “a lot” and “a little” on AI — Australia placed in the top spot, at 97%, while India placed last, at 45%. In Japan, the figure was 89%.
