In recent times, artificial intelligence (AI) has gone beyond the stage of a tool, becoming for a fairly wide audience a consultant, a personal assistant with expertise in a variety of fields, from private to professional purposes, as well as, last but not least, in formal education. This attribute is underlined by the significant shares of the various categories of the population that use generative AI tools (GAIT). Considering this aspect, the paper presents the results of the analyses undertaken by the authors on the similarities and disparities between twenty-four EU member states regarding the shares of the use of GAIT by individuals according to the levels of education and the age groups they belong to, for private purposes (PP), professional purposes (WP) and educational purposes (FE). The results obtained highlight significant differences both between the different categories of individuals and between the states they belong to.
