Artificial intelligence appears to be rapidly expanding, with many institutions adopting it extensively. The technology is used not only by professionals and workplaces but also as personal assistants. However, a new study by Pew Research reveals a different perspective on how much Americans want AI to be part of their personal lives. While the majority recognize AI’s benefits in various fields such as medicine, data analysis, science, and coding, many are uncomfortable with its role in romantic relationships, religion, emotional support, and creative expression.
According to the study, 95 percent of U.S. adults are now aware of AI and its applications. The public generally supports using AI for technical tasks and improving daily processes but is less enthusiastic about it managing personal and emotional aspects. This reluctance stems from a desire for more control over how AI is used in their lives rather than having the technology embedded into their personal decisions.
The study highlights that people do not want to rely on AI to the point where it diminishes core human skills such as connection, creativity, and problem-solving. Another reason for hesitation is the concern about losing control over AI’s influence in daily life.
In summary, while Americans are eager to explore AI further and appreciate its efficiency, they remain cautious about allowing it to manage intimate aspects of their lives.
