Key aggregate statistics from KPMG press release
URL: https://kpmg.com/xx/en/media/press-releases/2025/04/trust-of-ai-remains-a-critical-challenge.html
Extract¶
From the KPMG International press release:
- "only 46% of people globally are willing to trust AI systems"
- "surveyed over 48,000 people across 47 countries between November 2024 and January 2025"
- "over half (57%) of employees say they hide their use of AI and present AI-generated work as their own"
- "In emerging countries three in five people trust AI systems, while in advanced countries only two in five trust them"
Relevance to Hypotheses¶
| Hypothesis | Relationship | Strength |
|---|---|---|
| H1 | Supports | Strong — confirms 46% global trust, 48,000+ respondents, 47 countries, and the advanced/emerging split described as "two in five" vs "three in five" |
| H2 | Contradicts | Strong — no discrepancy between claim and source |
| H3 | Contradicts | Strong — figures are accurately attributed to this study |
Context¶
The press release uses approximate language ("two in five," "three in five") for the advanced/emerging economy breakdown. The exact percentages (39%, 57%) likely come from the full report data. The rounding is consistent: 39% rounds to "two in five" and 57% rounds to "three in five."
Notes¶
The 48,340 exact respondent count appears in some KPMG pages but the press release rounds to "over 48,000." This is normal for press materials.
