Pew Research Center finds that 52% of Americans are more concerned than excited about the rise of artificial intelligence.
A recent survey by Pew Research Center reveals that American sentiment toward artificial intelligence has shifted toward caution. The study found that 52% of Americans are now more concerned than excited about the increased use of AI in daily life, a significant increase from 37% in 2021. While concern is rising across most age groups, adults under 30 are showing a notable trend of skepticism, with 55% of this demographic expressing more concern than excitement. Furthermore, the research highlights a user's growing anxiety regarding the labor market. Approximately 71% of adults believe that AI will lead to fewer jobs in the United States over the next two decades. This concern is particularly prevalent among younger adults, where 73% believe AI will result in fewer jobs. While experts debate whether AI will create new roles, the majority of the American public remains wary of the technology's impact on society and personal creativity.
