CNET Survey: A Quarter of Smartphone Users Are Not Interested in AI Features

A survey by renowned tech and consumer electronics media CNET shows that many consumers do not like the artificial intelligence products on phones from companies such as Apple, Google, and Samsung - especially if they have to pay to use them. A quarter (25%) of smartphone users think AI features are unhelpful, 45% are unwilling to pay a monthly subscription fee for AI features, and 34% worry about privacy issues. Slightly more than half (52%) of smartphone users are not interested in buying foldable phones. The biggest motivation for American adult smartphone users to upgrade their devices is longer battery life (61%), followed by larger storage space (46%) and better camera functions (38%). Only 18% said it was due to the addition of artificial intelligence.
