In this episode, we explore the results of a major new global study from the University of Melbourne and KPMG titled Trust, Attitudes and Use of Artificial Intelligence: A Global Study 2025. Drawing on the views of more than 48,000 people across 47 countries, this research offers one of the most detailed snapshots to date of how AI is perceived, trusted, and used around the world. It examines differences between advanced and emerging economies, workplace adoption, student use in education, and the growing call for stronger governance.
The conversation unpacks why emerging economies are leading the way in AI trust and uptake, and why advanced economies are showing more scepticism. It highlights the gap between public confidence in AI’s technical ability and concerns about its safety and ethical use. You will hear about patterns in workplace behaviour, from productivity gains to policy breaches, and how students are using AI both to enhance learning and, in some cases, to bypass it. The episode also discusses the widespread demand for stronger AI regulation, especially to counter misinformation.
This discussion matters because it captures the reality of AI adoption beyond the headlines, showing both its opportunities and its risks. The findings reveal where trust is being built and where it is eroding, and why literacy, governance, and clear regulation are critical as adoption accelerates. Whether working in a business, leading a team, or studying in a university, understanding these trends can help in making informed decisions about how to engage with AI responsibly and effectively.
