A recent poll by the Pew Research Center found that the majority of US adults<\/a> think that artificial intelligence will \u201cworsen people\u2019s ability to think creatively,\u201d while half say the tech will deteriorate our ability to form meaningful relationships.<\/p>\n

And now, according to the center\u2019s latest poll<\/a>, it turns out that it\u2019s not just Americans quickly becoming distrustful and disillusioned with the tech \u2014 much of the rest of the world is growing deeply concerned about AI as well.<\/p>\n

According to the poll, which was conducted in the spring of this year, a significant proportion of people across 25 countries are now \u201cmore concerned than excited about [AI\u2019s] growing presence in daily life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adults in the United States, Italy, Australia, and Brazil were proportionally most concerned. Excitement, in general, was muted; there wasn\u2019t a single country in which more than 30 percent of adults said they were \u201cmore excited than concerned\u201d about the tech.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn no country surveyed is the largest share more excited than concerned about the increasing use of AI in daily life,\u201d the Pew Research Center noted.<\/p>\n

The same poll also showed an interesting correlation between income and AI literacy. Roughly half of adults in wealthier countries, such as Japan, Germany, and France, had heard \u201ca lot\u201d about AI, while only 14 percent and 12 percent said the same in India and Kenya, respectively.<\/p>\n

Educated adults were more likely to say that they were excited about AI. Those who said they \u201cuse the internet almost constantly\u201d also said they were mainly excited.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s despite previous research finding<\/a> that trust in AI falls among people as they become more AI literate. A recent report<\/a> by academic publisher Wiley also found that scientists are expressing\u00a0less\u00a0trust in AI than they did in 2024, when it was decidedly less advanced.<\/p>\n

A median of 55 percent of adults across the 25 countries said they had \u201cat least some trust in their nation\u2019s ability to regulate AI.\u201d In the US, 47 percent of adults said they had \u201cnot too much\u201d or \u201cno trust\u201d in their government to effectively regulate AI, while only 44 percent said they had either \u201ca lot of\u201d or \u201csome trust,\u201d reflecting a possible \u201cpartisan division.\u201d <\/p>\n

Other wealthy nations, including Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands, showed much higher levels of trust.<\/p>\n

The topic of AI regulation has become a major point of contention in the US, with Republican lawmakers balking at passing any meaningful rules<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Trump White House continues to double down by dismantling the few existing rules<\/a> that were established during the last administration, effectively allowing the industry to continue to spread its tendrils into every aspect of our lives unchecked.<\/p>\n
