\n Every year, Safer Internet Day provides an opportunity to pause and reflect on the state of online safety \u2013 how far we\u2019ve come and how we can continue to improve. For almost a decade, Microsoft has marked the occasion by releasing research on how individuals of all ages perceive and experience risk online. <\/span>
\n Last year<\/span><\/a>
\n , we highlighted the growing importance of AI. This year, in our ninth Global Online Safety Survey, we\u2019ve dug deeper to understand how people view and are using this technology, plus how well they can identify AI-generated content. <\/span>
\n <\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n Our findings show that while there has been a global increase in AI users (51% have ever used compared to 39% in 2023), worries about the technology have also increased: 88% of people were worried about generative AI, compared to 83% last year. Further, our data confirms that people have difficulty in identifying AI generated content, which may amplify abusive AI content risks. <\/span>

Announcing new resources to empower the responsible use of AI<\/h3>\n

\n At Microsoft, we are committed to advancing AI responsibly to realize its benefits. Fundamental to this is the work we do to build a strong safety architecture and to safeguard our services from abuse. Unfortunately, we know that the creation of harmful content is one of the ways in which AI can be subject to abuse, which is why we are taking a <\/span>
\n comprehensive approach<\/span><\/a>
\n to addressing this issue. That approach includes public awareness and education \u2013 and this year\u2019s research underscored the need for media literacy and guidance on the responsible use of AI. Building on the launch of our <\/span>
\n Family Safety Toolkit<\/span><\/a>
\n last year, we\u2019re pleased to announce new resources:<\/span>
