The third annual TechPulse Report compared trends longitudinally with Stevens’ previous TechPulse survey completed in 2021 and polled new questions specifically on Americans’ perceptions of generative AI, which has increased in popularity and controversy recently.
Main finding: Despite adult’s knowledge of AI and perceived daily interactions with it remain unchanged after two years, Americans have become significantly more wary about AI’s impact on everyday life. Since 2021, adults are now 10 percent less likely to believe that the positives of AI in everyday life outweigh the negatives – a stark reversal from only two years ago.
