A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that 73% of Americans believe technology companies are not doing enough to prevent harm from AI. The results indicate a broad lack of confidence among respondents about how companies manage potential risks.
The survey also reports that 39% of Americans say AI is having a negative impact on society, which Reuters and Quartz describe as the highest share on record. NDTV similarly notes the figure and adds that it is up from 36% in the previous month, suggesting a modest month-to-month increase in concern.
While both outlets focus on public worry, they emphasize different framing: NDTV highlights the specific concern that companies are not taking sufficient steps, while Quartz spotlights the record-high level of negative sentiment about AI’s effect on society. Both accounts rely on the same underlying polling results and present them as indicators of growing public skepticism about AI safety practices.
