Global Counsel’s surveys found public awareness of generative AI to be strikingly high for a novel technology, with around 9 in 10 in the UK, US and Germany claiming to have heard of it.

A “function” is a sequence of programming instructions that makes a calculation based on data provided. Internet users most commonly encounter functions when entering queries on search engines, such as the time difference between two cities, the distance between two locations, or the volume of an object.
