Most Americans polled by Reuters said the rapid growth of artificial intelligence technology could jeopardize humanity's future. 61% of respondents believe that AI poses risks to humanity, while only 22% agree, and 17% remain unsure.
Those who voted for former US President Donald Trump in the 2020 election expressed higher levels of concern: 70% of them – compared to 60% of current President Joe Biden's voters – agreed that artificial intelligence could threaten humanity. While Americans are concerned about artificial intelligence, crime and the economy rank higher on the list of serious issues on the table.
