What Does the Public Think About AI?
An overview of the public’s attitudes towards AI and a resource for future research
Drawing from academic studies and public polling data, this report synthesises public attitudes towards AI with a focus on the United Kingdom and United States. It discusses public views on issues such as concern about job loss, emerging trends, challenges, and future opportunities. The report also introduces and draws on a new resource to analyse emerging trends in AI public opinion surveys—the AI Survey Hub for Attitudes and Research Exchange (AI SHARE) database, which aggregates survey data from over 200 studies conducted between 2014 and 2023.
