Most Aussies worry AI-generated content will devalue the work of human creators, study finds

While Australians are embracing generative AI technology in places like shopping and travel, and even in some creative pursuits, it still can’t replace the role of human-to-human connections and empathy, according to research from The Lab Insight and Strategy.

The study, titled AI’s Cultural Crossroads, found 60% of Australians reject the idea of using AI to discuss emotions and mental health, for making critical healthcare decisions, or for forming meaningful relationships or friendships with AI-driven companions.
