Americans' Shifting Attitudes Toward AI: A Tale of Increasing Skepticism A new survey from Bentley University Gallup reveals a striking trend in the American public's perception of artificial intelligence.
As people become more aware and familiar with AI, their trust in it dwindles, raising questions about the true implications of AI adoption.
The survey shows that 39% of respondents believe AI does more harm than good, up from 31% in 2025. Younger Americans are particularly skeptical, with 47% of those aged 18 29 sharing this negative view.
