Web designers reported the highest satisfaction at 97%
Digital marketers followed at 94%
Web developers reported 87% satisfaction
Copywriters indicated 84% positive experiences

Perspectives on AI's workforce impact were mixed. 42% believed AI might replace some job roles, while 39% thought the AI industry could potentially create new employment opportunities.

All groups surveyed showed a strong support for some form of government regulation of AI tools (~84%), citing concerns such as ethical misuse and over reliance on the technology as reasons to be cautious.

Lloyd Cobb, director at 20i said "The pressures on digital creatives can be significant. The fact that these usage & satisfaction levels are so high shows that AI is clearly empowering people to innovate and deliver results. However, it's clear that time should be taken to ensure that these tools are developed and used in a responsible, ethical way".
