A recent poll by Pew Research indicates that only 16 percent of American respondents believe artificial intelligence (AI) will have a positive impact on society. Despite this, 49 percent of adults report using AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, with a quarter using them daily. The survey reveals that 40 percent of participants anticipate a negative impact from AI, and 31 percent feel it will affect them personally in a negative way. The perception of AI varies by age, with 48 percent of Gen Z adults expressing concerns about its societal impact, while usage among this group is at 66 percent. In contrast, 39 percent of adults aged 30-49 and 37 percent of those aged 50 and older view AI negatively, with lower usage rates among older age groups. The reasons behind the disparity between AI usage and perception remain unclear, but some individuals may feel compelled to use AI despite recognizing its limitations. The long-term viability of the AI industry may be challenged if negative perceptions persist.
