Anthropic survey finds AI adoption outpacing public trust

Anthropic published results from its first Public Record, a nationally representative survey of 2,228 U.S. adults about AI use, expectations, and governance. The research found 39% use AI multiple times a week, while 52% have little or no confidence that companies will use it responsibly. More respondents expect AI to cause harm than benefit, and large majorities support greater company transparency and government oversight. The survey is notable because it comes directly from a frontier lab and documents the widening gap between fast adoption and public trust, a gap likely to shape regulation, deployment choices, and companies' social license.
