Two-thirds of Americans think AI is advancing too quickly

A Pew Research Center poll released on May 2, 2024, found that 63 percent of Americans believe artificial intelligence is advancing too quickly. This sentiment comes as the use of AI chatbots has seen a significant increase, with 49 percent of Americans reporting occasional use. This figure represents a substantial jump from 2024, when only 33 percent of Americans reported using such tools. The poll also highlighted the growing popularity of specific AI products, noting that ChatGPT's usage has doubled since 2023, with 44 percent of respondents now using it. The research indicates a growing public awareness and engagement with AI technologies, alongside increasing concerns about the pace of their development.
