VILNIUS, June 8 (Xinhua) -- Sixty-nine percent of Lithuania's population uses artificial intelligence (AI), yet only one-third of them trust the technology, according to a recent study released by KPMG, the Baltic News Service (BNS) reported on Sunday.
While a majority of Lithuanians recognize the benefits of AI in their daily lives and professional environments, confidence in the technology's reliability, safety, and ethics remains limited, said Jonas Kupinas, head of technology consulting at KPMG Lithuania.
"It's clear that AI has become an integral part of many people's lives, but the emotional gap between use and trust is still wide - people see both the benefits and potential risks of AI," Kupinas noted.
The study, titled "Trust, Attitudes and Use of Artificial Intelligence: a Global Study 2025", was conducted in collaboration with the international audit, tax, and business consulting firm KPMG. It found that 54 percent of Lithuanian employees use AI at work, citing time savings and productivity gains among the top advantages.
"People have high hopes for AI, but they want the developers of this technology to be more transparent, clear, and accountable," Kupinas added.
According to the findings, 60 percent of respondents said they had experienced inaccurate AI outputs, 58 percent reported encountering AI-generated misinformation, and 57 percent expressed concern about losing essential human skills due to increasing reliance on the technology.
"Technological progress is inevitable, but it is important that both consumers and organizations follow this progress responsibly. The success of AI depends not only on its capabilities, but also on public trust," Kupinas emphasized. ■
