The report estimates that only about 2% of American households currently pay for AI services, pointing to a low level of willingness to spend on such products at the household level. According to the report, that figure highlights the difficulty of turning AI technology into sustainable commercial products and reliable revenue streams. It also suggests that challenges in monetization could weigh on future investment and innovation across the sector. The item was cited by Crypto Briefing.20
