A milestone worth noting: by end of 2025, roughly 16% of the global workforce had integrated generative AI into their monthly workflows. The adoption curve varies dramatically across regions though. Some nations are racing ahead with AI integration, while others lag considerably behind. Our regional breakdown reveals stark contrasts—geographic location, infrastructure maturity, and digital readiness all play decisive roles in determining whether workers gain access to these tools or remain on the sidelines. The map and detailed charts highlight which countries lead this AI wave and where adoption remains nascent.

16%？Feels like it's too little, everyone around is using it... --- Once again, location determines everything, a typical wealth gap issue --- Poor infrastructure means being destined to be eliminated, this logic makes sense --- Only 16%? I think we've already surpassed this number here --- So developed countries are going to leave other countries behind again, cycle repeats --- NG,L this regional disparity has long been inevitable, poor infrastructure makes everything pointless --- Interestingly, those lagging areas now have more opportunities? No need to learn new things, just use new tools? --- What tier is our country in? I haven't seen a specific ranking, it's a bit annoying

16%？Feels like the numbers are a bit inflated, those who actually use it aren't that many. --- It's the same old story about geographic differences... Wealthy countries play with AI, poor countries are still using Excel, and that's all there is to it. --- Huh, which specific countries are leading? Why don't I see the chart? --- I bet five bucks that China, the US, and Japan are definitely in the top three, no suspense. --- By the way, how many domestic companies are truly integrating AI monthly? Most of my friends are still on the sidelines. --- Although the proportion isn't high, the trend is correct. That's the key. Next year, it will double without a doubt.

Less than 16%, probably just a fraction, feels exaggerated --- It's that geographical determinism again, basically countries with more money and better infrastructure win --- NGL, this data might be inflated; I don't see that many people around me actually using AI workflows --- I just want to know how that 16% was calculated, a survey? --- The report is right about regional differences, but it seems to miss the real issue—how to bridge the gap --- Another analysis that frames the problem but offers no solutions

16%？Honestly, that's a bit low. It seems everyone around is using it. --- Location determines life or death. That's the reality. --- It's still about infrastructure and digital readiness, or the amount of money available. --- Developed countries are about to win again, no surprises there. --- How does China look on this map? I haven't seen the details. --- Wait, are there really people who haven't used AI for work yet? Is the gap this big? --- Where is the chart? Just looking at the data feels a bit empty.

Only 16%? I thought it would be higher. It seems most people are still waiting for the right opportunity to take off.
