Welche Länder nutzen KI am häufigsten?

My country can’t even use natural intelligence.

Why is Russia so low?

Idk how accurate these statistics are from what I seen in Sri Lanka there is a ton of adoption of AI by small businesses and I can imagine this is probably true in a lot of developing countries that have a strong and barely regulated small business sector. The adoption of image generation for example seems much higher than in countries like the NL. I suppose I’m not accounting for all the people with limited access to technology whom I didn’t meet so much.

This is nonsense TBH. Because like, if you think about it, the usage rate should pretty much be the internet adoption rate.

After all, if you Google something, does Gemini not pop up? If you Bing something, is there not a Co-pilot summary? Not to mention all the other AI embedded software like Grammarly, Claude Code, or even Microsoft Office itself.

Ok, so I went to the link and downloaded the report:

[For Distribution – Microsoft AI Diffusion Report – October 2025 – Final.pdf](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Microsoft-AI-Diffusion-Report.pdf)

And then I followed reference [5] to see where that took me:

[AI-Usage-Technical-Report.pdf](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/AI-Usage-Technical-Report.pdf)

As it turns out – Microsoft measures „AI usage“ using this metric: [https://imgur.com/a/QmW3P0H](https://imgur.com/a/QmW3P0H)

They described it a bit further, but their usage share is pretty much people who press the copilot button on their computers and/or visit specific AI sites like [chatgpt.com](http://chatgpt.com) or [gemini.google.com](http://gemini.google.com) on a browser that sends telemetry to Microsoft (so, Edge if you allow them to).

This completely misses embedded ai (like AI on top of google search results, or Copilot in Word), and this completely misses mobile-only AI users (IE: guys who chat with character.ai)

pretty sure Russia is using AI

I doubt AI usage in China could be that low. DeepSeek is free. Plus, chinese prefer using Doubao, which is very user-friendly (developed by ByteDance—I haven’t used it myself, but I’ve heard that while its accuracy isn’t high, it’s extremely simple to use). It’s common to see people sharing AI-generated replies (personally, I don’t think that’s a good trend…).

I took a look at the Microsoft report: “Measuring AI Diffusion: A Population-Normalized Metric for Tracking Global AI Usage,” Microsoft AI for Good Lab, 2025. [https://aka.ms/AI_Diffusion_Technical_Report](https://aka.ms/AI_Diffusion_Technical_Report)
It’s based solely on Microsoft data. However, Microsoft banned DeepSeek in May, and China tends to prefer using its own cloud services (like Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, and Huawei Cloud). I imagine that Azure usage in China is mostly tied to international business, so it wouldn’t reflect data on daily AI usage by Chinese users.
