The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in fitness has sparked a mixed reaction among UK residents, with some finding it helpful in sticking to a routine and others expressing concern over its accuracy.
A recent study by Pew Research Centre found that 62% of Americans and 69% of Brits regularly use AI in various aspects of their lives, including fitness.
While some individuals have reported positive experiences with AI-assisted fitness programmes, citing its ability to tailor workouts to their needs and goals, others have expressed concerns over its limitations.
'It helped me stick to a routine and provided me with a sense of accountability,' said Sarah, a 32-year-old fitness enthusiast who uses AI-powered fitness apps. 'I find it motivating and engaging, and it has helped me achieve my fitness goals.'
However, others have expressed concerns over the accuracy of AI-assisted fitness programmes. 'I despise it,' said Emily, a 28-year-old gym-goer. 'It can be wrong, confidently so, and it does not take into account my individual needs and goals.'
The mixed reaction to AI in fitness highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability in the development and use of AI technology. It also underscores the importance of considering individual needs and goals when using AI-assisted fitness programmes.
