Digital Divide
A sociological concept describing disparities among different groups in their access to and ability to use digital technologies. The term has expanded from its original focus on internet connectivity gaps to encompass current inequalities in AI skills, literacy, and cognitive engagement with AI tools.

Industry observers believe this disconnect not only affects product experience but may also widen the digital divide.
The key to bridging the digital divide is not just lowering prices but also proactive adaptation in areas such as interaction design, language localization, and accessibility.
The digital divide usually refers to the gap between different social groups in accessing, using, and benefiting from digital technology; in the AI era, this concept has expanded from "whether one has internet and devices" to "whether one can effectively use and benefit from intelligent tools."
In the entry-level price band, even a $20–$30 price increase could mean a delayed or abandoned purchase decision for households with a monthly income of less than $200.
Paid versions of AI tend to offer more powerful features, which may exacerbate the digital divide.
Vulnerable consumer groups who are unfamiliar with AI tools may be further disadvantaged in asserting their rights due to the digital divide.
