As more Americans adopt AI tools, fewer say they can trust the results
Despite rising AI adoption, a Quinnipiac poll shows most Americans lack trust in AI results and are concerned about its future impact.Summary
A recent Quinnipiac University poll indicates a significant contradiction in American attitudes toward Artificial Intelligence: while adoption is increasing (only 27% have never used AI tools), trust remains very low, with 76% rarely or only sometimes trusting the results. Computer science professor Chetan Jaiswal noted that Americans are adopting AI with "deep hesitation, not deep trust."
Concerns about AI are widespread, with 80% of respondents expressing worry, and 62% not excited about its future. A majority (55%) believe AI will do more harm than good. Furthermore, 70% think AI advancements will reduce job opportunities, a pessimistic view shared most strongly by Gen Z, despite most employed individuals not fearing for their own specific jobs yet. Finally, Americans express distrust in the entities behind the technology, with two-thirds stating that businesses are not transparent enough about AI use and that the government is not regulating it sufficiently.
