Concerns about artificial intelligence are widespread, with a significant majority of people believing the government should focus on keeping it under control. A recent survey found that nearly two-thirds of respondents think AI development is happening at a rapid pace. Only a small fraction believe it is progressing too slowly.

The need for regulation is becoming increasingly pressing, as powerful AI models pose potential risks. Some leaders in the industry are advocating for a more cautious approach to allow for government oversight to catch up.

Further information on the survey and its findings can be found through the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
