Since the launch of ChatGPT nearly two years (!) ago, the global appetite for outsourcing everyday tasks — both professional and personal — to technology has surged. Looking ahead, Dentsu's June-published study finds that nearly half (49%) of consumers worldwide say they’d like to have an AI clone to manage shopping, administrative tasks and communication by 2035. In APAC, this figure climbs to 62%. 👥
Asian consumers’ enthusiasm for AI is supported by another study from McKinsey, which found that 16% of global consumers regularly use gen AI outside of work, rising to 30% in APAC. That report also found that Gen Z are early adopters, with 31% utilizing AI for daily life hacks — from home décor suggestions to crafting travel itineraries. Many expect AI to offer expert advice, replacing traditional consultations.
