Pew Research Center published this nationally representative US survey in September 2025, finding that Americans remain considerably more concerned than excited about AI's growing role in daily life, by a margin of roughly 50 percent to 10 percent. The survey found particular skepticism that AI will improve human relationships or abilities specifically, as opposed to more neutral views on its economic effects.
As one of the few large, methodologically rigorous public-opinion surveys focused specifically on AI, the report is frequently cited in coverage of the gap between industry optimism and broader public sentiment.
