In a survey of 20 countries carried out by Statista Consumer Insights, a majority of respondents indicated that they were not overly concerned about AI-generated news. Only between 25 percent and 44 percent of respondents said they would want to know if the news they consumed was AI generated in a multi-pick question. As part of the same question, respondents were asked, among others, if they worried about mainstream media news being manipulated, which between 32 percent and 52 percent said they did.

The least interest in finding out about the potential AI-generated origins of their news was detected in Latin American countries Argentina and Colombia as well as in South Korea and Japan. In these locations, between 16 percent and 25 percent of people said they would want to know if AI wrote their news. This was followed by France, Italy, the Netherlands and Mexico at 27 percent. The biggest concern was registered in Vietnam at 44 percent, Malaysia and the Philippines at 41 percent as well as Finland at 40 percent. In Brazil, India, the United Arab Emirates and Singapore, 39 percent of people said they would like to know the fact.

Meanwhile, even fewer people did in fact use AI proactively to write their news. In a separate survey by Reuters in 45 countries, only between 4 percent and 14 percent of respondents said they ask AI chatbots to display news for them.
