US Public Record poll: AI dey make people fear lose work, hope for health mata, and dem no too trust AI companies
One new survey wey Anthropic run, dem call am “Public Record”, show say Americans get mixed mind about AI. Dem interview almost 52,000 people for late 2025. The biggest fear na job loss: 64% of people talk say dem dey worry say AI go cause job cuts. This worry steady across political parties, education levels, and states, and e high well for people wey get more education whose work dey overlap with AI tasks. For positive side, almost half of Americans want AI make e help cure diseases, with cancer and Alzheimer’s top wishes (almost 50%). Helping people wey get disabilities come next (36%). Hope say AI fit replace human connection—like therapy or reduce loneliness—na the least supported option. Trust for tech sector low too. Only 15% of Americans say dem trust AI companies to decide how AI go dey developed and used—lower than trust for government and far lower than trust for independent experts (43%). Support for government regulation big and bipartisan: over 70% want oversight, especially around privacy, child safety, and corporate liability for harm. Anthropic talk say dem plan to repeat and expand the survey outside the US.
Neutral
Dis na wan social/policy poll abaut AI — Americans dey fear job cuts (64%) but na dem dey hope say AI go bring big healthcare breakthroughs, and dem no trust AI companies well (15%) and dem strong for government oversight (>70%). E no talk direct about crypto networks, crypto regulation, token issuance, or any particular blockchain catalysts.
For crypto trading, di main link na indirect: if dem tighten AI-related regulation or industry people dey skeptical, e fit affect broader tech-sector sentiment and risk appetite, wey fit scatter enter markets wey dey trade as "high-beta" assets. But without concrete policy actions, timelines, or company-specific financial impacts, di effect on BTC/ETH demand and liquidity likely small.
Short-term, traders fit treat am as background for risk sentiment (mild, if any). Long-term, if similar polling lead to more regulation about privacy, child safety, and corporate liability, e fit affect AI-capex narratives more pass crypto fundamentals. Historically, broad tech sentiment surveys dey move crypto only when dem align with actual regulatory drafts, enforcement, or major earnings/price catalysts — none dey here.
