It's a tracking survey of how American adults feel about artificial intelligence.\n\nThis seems useful for people working on AI policy. Most existing polling on AI is one-off, which makes it hard to distinguish stable attitudes from noise, or to see how opinion responds to external events. A tracker with a consistent questionnaire, fielded every two weeks, helps build a picture of how opinion shifts and what moves it.\n\n\"Americans on AI is a tracking survey of how American adults feel about artificial intelligence (AI). Waves are fielded every two weeks by NORC at the University of Chicago on AmeriSpeak, a probability-based household panel designed to be representative of the US household population. Between 1,000 and 2,000 adults complete each wave, and the questionnaire carries a consistent set of questions from wave to wave, so results are comparable over time.\" More info [here](https://www.americanson.ai/en/methodology).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/americans-on-ai-a-new-tracker-of-us-public-opinion-on-ai", "canonical_source": "https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/AnW5Whvkjhafmetns/americans-on-ai-a-new-tracker-of-us-public-opinion-on-ai", "published_at": "2026-07-14 10:25:23+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-14 10:36:38.125883+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-policy"], "entities": ["Athena Insights", "NORC", "University of Chicago", "AmeriSpeak"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/americans-on-ai-a-new-tracker-of-us-public-opinion-on-ai", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/americans-on-ai-a-new-tracker-of-us-public-opinion-on-ai.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/americans-on-ai-a-new-tracker-of-us-public-opinion-on-ai.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/americans-on-ai-a-new-tracker-of-us-public-opinion-on-ai.jsonld"}}
