Public dislike of AI deepens even as usage keeps growing
What happened
On October 5, MIT Technology Review reported that public attitudes toward AI are turning more negative while usage keeps rising. The report cites a May Gallup survey in which 71% of US adults opposed a new AI data center in their area, and Sensor Tower data showing ChatGPT hit 1 billion monthly users in May and Gemini reached 950 million in July. Will Douglas Heaven attributes the mix of resentment and use to how tech companies push AI.
