Event Summary
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more embedded in everyday life, public opinion is playing a growing role in shaping how policymakers respond to the technology’s rapid development. Are Americans hopeful about AI’s potential or wary of unintended consequences? Which sectors do they trust AI to transform, and where do they want more guardrails?
Join ITIF's Center for Data Innovation and Public First for a timely discussion of new polling data exploring how U.S. public sentiment toward AI is evolving. The conversation will unpack where Americans see promise or peril, how their views have shifted over the past year, and what these perspectives mean for lawmakers, business leaders, and the future of AI policy.
