Americans Grapple With AI’s Dual Promise and Peril

A Pew Research Center survey reveals deepening ambivalence toward artificial intelligence among U.S. adults. While 73% welcome AI assistance for mundane tasks, 53% believe it will erode creative thinking—and 50% fear damage to human relationships. This tension reflects a broader societal paradox: adoption grows alongside existential unease.

Market implications remain muted as the study focuses on psychological impacts rather than technological applications. No direct cryptocurrency correlations emerge from the findings, though AI-adjacent tokens like AGI and FET often react to shifts in public sentiment toward machine learning technologies.

The data shows a 13-point surge in AI apprehension since 2021, with only 10% of respondents expressing net enthusiasm. This growing skepticism could influence regulatory developments that indirectly affect blockchain-based AI projects and their associated tokens.
