Impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence: Special focus on education and work

The topic of Generative Artificial Intelligence has emerged as one of the most trendy topics, dividing opinions. This technology starts being increasingly relevant in lives of those who are technologically aware, both professionally and educationally. Its versatility and effectiveness have provided its users with enormous satisfaction, while others prefer to continue defending a traditional way of perceiving the world, standing against the development and spread of this technology. In a world increasingly characterised by the constant search for efficiency and optimization of available resources, Generative Artificial Intelligence has been positioned so you can rely on it. In this context, the present study aims to investigate how Generative Artificial Intelligence has revolutionized and impacted human life routines, focusing also on how students and workers are managing it. Understanding how education systems and companies are defending their interests over the propagation of a technology that has been changing the classic paradigm while users and society are consciously trying to take advantage of all Generative Artificial Intelligence can proportionate. The information shared is crucial not only to understand how people perceive Generative Artificial Intelligence and its acceptance but also to draw some expectations for the future. Through some analysis driven, including the launch of a survey with 199 valid responses, some conclusions can be taken: younger generations are dealing better with the dissemination of this technology and are in a favourable position to gather rewards when compared to older generations, who remain hesitant and showing resistance. The study's sample is considered not representative as the amount of responses collected is not enough to really generalize conclusions. However, is important to highlight the pertinence of the study as it allows to draw very pertinent conclusions about the sample studied.
