Athena Insights launched its first research project this week: [Americans on AI](https://www.americanson.ai/en). It's a tracking survey of how American adults feel about artificial intelligence.

This 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.

"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."
