A new poll reports that nearly half of young people say they trust AI more than a human when checking facts. One outlet cites a figure of 47% among respondents aged 11 to 24, who choose AI as the most trustworthy option for fact-checking.
The same reporting indicates that far fewer respondents put their trust in humans for this task, with 21% saying humans are the most trustworthy. Sky News similarly describes the finding as “nearly half” trusting AI over a human, but does not specify the exact percentages in its account. Across outlets, the emphasis is on a generational pattern: younger respondents appear more likely to rely on AI than on human judgement for verification.
