Digital takeover? Nearly half of Americans own a digital assistant, survey finds

Not all voice assistants can handle the same requests. We put Siri, Alexa and Google to the test. The number of voice assistants used worldwide could rise from 2.5 billion in 2018 to 8 billion in 2023, according to Juniper Research. A recent survey by Clutch found that 48% of respondents in the U.S. owned a digital assistant, and 33% planned to buy one within the next three years. The firm also found that 69% of voice assistant owners used their devices every day.
