Xbox has published a report from Edelman Data & Intelligence, "commissioned" by Microsoft, about the "Culture of Play" and how people feel about games. Behind highlights like 68% of respondents saying gaming is "more emotionally fulfilling than their other hobbies," a curious and less visible result stood out to me: 79% of the people surveyed "are open to help from AI."
I didn't see this statistic mentioned in the Xbox Wire blog post sharing the report or in its front-facing infographic. Instead, I found it in a folder of assets offering more details from the report. I've reached out to Microsoft for comment on how "help from AI" was defined and presented in the survey.
