‘Did you use AI?’ is the wrong question. Ask ‘What did you use AI for?’

On September 7, 2026, the American business magazine Fast Company published an article stating that the traditional question of asking users “whether they use artificial intelligence” has limitations. The magazine suggested changing the approach to the question to “What do you do with artificial intelligence?” This was intended to encourage the public and businesses to focus more on the practical applications and results of AI technology in real-world scenarios, rather than merely considering whether or not they have adopted it.
