據蓋洛普與微軟合作開展的關於AI看法的持續性研究，人工智能的使用程度可以“階梯”呈現，即從最初的瞭解，到曾經用過，再到更頻繁地使用。在受訪的37個國家/地區中，隨着使用程度的加深，處於階梯各階段的成年人比例通常會相應下降。雖然人工智能的認知度中位數爲81%，但曾經使用過人工智能（無論是出於工作還是個人目的）的比例中位數僅爲43%，而頻繁使用者的比例則更低。人工智能的普及程度在不同國家/地區之間也存在顯著差異。在新加坡，96%的成年人瞭解人工智能，79%的人曾經使用過人工智能，46%的人每天都使用人工智能。而在馬拉維，只有12%的成年人瞭解人工智能，3%的人曾經使用過人工智能，1%的人每天都使用人工智能。這種對比凸顯了在高度互聯、以技術爲中心的環境之外，人工智能的普及程度可能截然不同。

Sept. 23 — Zhang Xue Locomotive said it has identified false recruitment information circulating via unofficial channels. The company said only certain key R&D positions are handled by retained headhunters, who will not charge applicants; all other roles are filled by the company directly. Zhang Xue said it has not authorized any third party or individual to recruit on its behalf under labels such as 'labor dispatch', 'internal referral' or 'paid referral'. Any requests for applicants' sensitive personal information or payment are not official.

A-share property sector continued to rally, with multiple stocks hitting daily limits, supported by low valuations and rumors of a nationwide mortgage interest subsidy. Market chatter put fiscal subsidy at 20–50bp plus local subsidy 20–50bp, up to 100bp total, which could push first-home mortgage rates toward about 2%. Separate rumors said a 100 billion yuan program with a 20bp subsidy for first-home loans may be announced soon. Several sell-side property analysts said a nationwide subsidy is unlikely; one analyst said, "At the national level, extending loan terms is roughly equivalent to a subsidy or rate cut in reducing interest costs."
