Summary
68% of Americans who use AI daily said they are worried about its implications, Gallup found, showing heavy use does not translate into comfort with the technology.
74% of Americans overall reported worry about AI, and only 36% said they expect it to mostly help the country; among U.S. daily users, just 45% said they trust AI results a lot.
37 countries were surveyed between April and July, with about 1,000 respondents each; across that group, only 32% said they felt worried about AI and a median 36% said they trust its results a lot.
Singapore and China showed a sharper contrast: 46% and 35% respectively reported daily AI use, while large majorities expected the technology to improve daily life or help their countries.
Gallup said the results point to multidimensional attitudes toward AI, suggesting wider adoption alone is unlikely to ease demands for tighter rules in areas such as hiring, healthcare, education and government.
