A new biweekly poll on public sentiment toward artificial intelligence finds that Americans express more concern than excitement about AI’s growing role in society. According to the “Americans on AI” survey first shared with The Hill by the nonprofit Athena Insights, respondents are nearly three times as likely to say they are concerned rather than excited about the technology’s advance. The survey is designed to track shifting public attitudes over time, using repeated measurements at a regular cadence. While the topline results emphasize a predominance of concern, the reporting indicates that overall sentiment is mixed but weighted toward apprehension. The findings reflect broad public unease as AI becomes more visible in everyday life and public institutions. The Hill characterizes the results as a notable imbalance between enthusiasm and worry, suggesting that concerns about AI may be shaping how people view its deployment. The survey’s timing and biweekly structure indicate the nonprofit expects to continue monitoring trends in Americans’ views as AI use and public debate evolve.
