The study found that the feeling of inclusion is particularly low among people aged 70 and over. The 20-29 age group, on the other hand, feels much more integrated. According to the University of Zurich, artificial intelligence (AI) has widened the generation gap.

This age difference is also reflected in digital consumption. Young people aged 20-29 spend 8.4 hours a day on the internet.
