We designed the surveys so we could talk about the views of the adult population in each country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this report, data from the U.S. comes from two surveys. We surveyed 5,119 U.S. adults from Feb. 17 to Feb. 23, 2026 and 3,488 U.S. adults from June 22 to June 28, 2026.

It is based on a survey of 41,113 adults in 35 countries conducted Feb. 8-May 13, 2026. U.S. data comes from two surveys, the first of 5,119 adults conducted Feb. 17-23, and the second of 3,488 adults conducted June 22-28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;impact-on-jobs&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"impact-on-jobs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact on jobs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A median of 55% of adults across 18 high-income countries say AI will lead to fewer jobs in the next 20 years, compared with 36% across 18 middle-income countries (as classified by <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.worldbank.org\/en\/opendata\/understanding-country-income--world-bank-group-income-classifica\">World Bank lending groups<\/a>). More people in middle-income countries than high-income countries say they are not sure (34% vs. 22% medians).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This attitude and certain other views about AI \u2013 that it will increase the gap between the rich and the poor, as well as overall awareness \u2013 are generally correlated with gross domestic product per capita. The belief that AI will lead to job losses is less common in middle-income nations with the lowest GDP per capita, such as Kenya, Nigeria and the Philippines, and it\u2019s more common in some high-income nations with relatively high GDP per capita, such as Australia and the United States (although Singapore is an outlier here).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-640-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/?attachment_id=459217\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f4f5f4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f4f5f4;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/pg_2026.09.17_global-views-of-ai_3_02.png?resize=480,375 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/pg_2026.09.17_global-views-of-ai_3_02.png?resize=782,611 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/pg_2026.09.17_global-views-of-ai_3_02.png?resize=960,750 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/pg_2026.09.17_global-views-of-ai_3_02.png?resize=1200,938 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/pg_2026.09.17_global-views-of-ai_3_02.png?resize=1280,1000 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"500\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/pg_2026.09.17_global-views-of-ai_3_02.png?w=640\" alt=\"A dot plot showing that In wealthier countries, more people expect AI to reduce jobs\" class=\"wp-image-459217 not-transparent\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;ai-and-inequality&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"ai-and-inequality\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI and inequality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Views of AI\u2019s role in inequality also vary between high- and middle-income countries. A median of 35% in high-income countries say AI will increase the gap between the rich and the poor, while 22% in middle-income countries say the same. For example, 46% of adults in the U.S., a high-income nation, say AI will increase the gap between the rich and poor, compared with 13% in middle-income Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;concern-and-excitement-about-ai&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"concern-and-excitement-about-ai\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concern and excitement about AI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People in high-income and middle-income countries have somewhat different levels of concern about the increasing use of AI in daily life. A median of 40% in high-income countries say they are more concerned than excited about the technology. In middle-income countries, a median of 31% hold this view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, levels of excitement tend to be low worldwide: A median of 14% in high-income countries and 13% in middle-income countries are more excited than concerned about AI. Instead, many in both middle- and high-income nations say they are both concerned <em>and<\/em> excited about AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rates of concern and excitement are much less closely related to GDP per capita than expectations about job loss or inequality.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;awareness-of-ai&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"awareness-of-ai\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Awareness of AI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People in high-income countries tend to have read or heard <em>a lot<\/em> about AI compared with people in middle-income countries (50% vs. 27% medians). For their part, people in middle-income countries are generally more likely to say they have heard <em>nothing at all<\/em> about AI relative to people in high-income countries (28% vs. 9%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The share of adults saying they have read or heard a lot about AI has increased in seven high-income countries and four middle-income countries where trends from last year are available. People in countries with higher GDP per capita also tend to say they have heard <em>a lot<\/em> about AI relative to people in less wealthy nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-callout has-ui-beige-very-light-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2130f694 wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 id=\"which-countries-are-high-income-and-which-are-middle-income\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Which countries are high income and which are middle income?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this section of the publication, we categorized 36 countries surveyed this spring as high- and middle-income countries based on <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.worldbank.org\/en\/opendata\/world-bank-country-classifications-by-income-level-for-2024-2025\">World Bank<\/a> classifications.
