Insights on US Public Opinion on AI

From trust and optimism to fear and skepticism, the attitudes and opinion of Americans about AI will likely shape not only the adoption of the technology, but also public support for policies to accelerate its development and use.

On the other hand, Congress is more likely to accelerate digital transformation where voters believe that the technology will improve their lives.
