Flutterby™! : Americans hate AI

Politico: Americans Hate AI. Which Party Will Benefit?

That’s because the polls almost speak for themselves. There is hardly any issue that polls lower than unchecked AI development among Americans. Gallup polling showed that 80 percent of American adults think the government should regulate AI, even if it means growing more slowly.

Even congressional Democrats, at a record low 18 percent approval, beat that out, according to Quinnipiac.
