Consumers Embrace Autonomous AI Assistants Selectively
7.0
PYMNTS Intelligence reports that 30% of 2,113 U.S. adults surveyed Oct. 14–29 say they would let an autonomous AI assistant handle some everyday planning tasks. The survey finds shopping and organization are top use cases (about 30% each), while only about 20% would permit finance-related automation; among frequent AI users, roughly two-thirds would allow autonomous planning. The results indicate selective, trust-dependent consumer adoption.
