Most Americans favor maintaining rules for AI safety and security, as well as independent testing and collaboration with allies in developing the technology.
Despite improvements, Americans remain concerned about whether businesses will use AI responsibly and what impact it will have on job availability.
U.S. adults are evenly divided over whether artificial intelligence is a normal technological evolution that will help humans or a novel societal threat.
U.S. employees who report having more influence on new technology adoption at work express greater job satisfaction than workers with less influence.
