AI was supposed to win people over by now, it hasn’t
As AI becomes harder to avoid, consumers are growing more wary of the technology — and Silicon Valley is discovering that widespread adoption doesn’t necessarily lead to acceptance.
Get smart on it
Despite technological advances, public sentiment toward AI is becoming increasingly negative. Recent polls show that a majority of Americans are more concerned than excited about AI's growing presence in daily life, and most young adults don't trust major AI industry leaders to act responsibly. The lack of compelling consumer benefits, combined with concerns about job displacement and use of others' intellectual property, has created a public relations crisis affecting tech companies' business plans. Some industry leaders now acknowledge this represents a fundamental crisis of trust, noting that AI companies have not yet delivered on promises to benefit society in meaningful ways.
