A new study by Telenor Asia reveals that 96 percent of Bangladeshi internet users now regularly use artificial intelligence, up from 88 percent in 2024, highlighting the rapid integration of AI into everyday digital life. The findings were published in the fourth edition of the report titled Digital Lives Decoded 2025: Building Trust in Bangladesh’s AI Future, based on a survey of 1,000 internet users across the country.
The report shows that mobile technology continues to transform daily life in Bangladesh, supporting online learning for 62 percent of users, remote work for 54 percent, and financial management for 50 percent. Over the past year, the fastest growth in mobile usage has been seen in remote work, which increased by more than 39 percent, and budgeting and expense tracking, which rose by over 36 percent.
Nearly six in ten users now rely on AI every day, with many using it for content creation for school, work, and personal use. Others increasingly turn to AI for personalized advice related to health, finance, and planning new experiences. The report also notes that AI adoption has become especially strong in workplaces, daily routines, and online shopping, signaling its deeper role in Bangladesh’s digital economy.
Jon Omund Revhaug, Head of Telenor Asia, emphasized that telecom operators have a critical responsibility as AI adoption grows. He said that as mobile phones enable smarter and more connected communities, operators must ensure secure digital infrastructure that supports trustworthy AI. Telenor Asia, he added, remains committed to supporting Bangladesh’s digital journey by making mobile technology safe, inclusive, and accessible.
