Reuters/Ipsos US AI risk poll timeline
Reuters and Ipsos published a nationwide US poll on October 7 based on an online survey of 4,506 adults, including 3,526 registered voters. Among registered voters, 57% said the Trump administration had not taken AI risks seriously enough or at all, and 54% said the same of Congress. Reuters reported that 84% saw AI as a threat to American workers and that majorities of Democrats and Republicans favored stricter government regulation. The findings describe public opinion, not observed job losses or a new federal rule.
