"Americans are wary of AI's impact on daily life. In classrooms, the concern only deepens. But the mood shifts when AI enters the hospital or the crime lab - most see promise in medical innovation and even support its role in identifying suspects. Yet beneath the surface, an economic divide emerges: lower-income Americans tend to view AI as a threat, while those with higher incomes see it as a benefit. The public isn't rejecting AI outright - they're drawing lines based on trust, lived experience, and who stands to gain or lose," said Chetan Jaiswal, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Computer Science, Quinnipiac University School of Computing & Engineering.
