Daily AI users in America are mostly worried too
Heavy use is not endorsement: 68% of daily US users are worried, in a Microsoft-commissioned Gallup survey.
Original event 2026-09-23
A Gallup survey found that 68% of Americans who use AI daily are worried about the technology, against 32% among all respondents.
The study covers 37 countries with roughly 1,000 respondents each, polled between April and July. The US is the most anxious: 74% of Americans reported worry and only 36% expect AI to mostly help the country, while high-adoption countries like Singapore and China skew far more optimistic.
Note the basis: the study was commissioned by Microsoft, and what is available is TechCrunch's reporting on the results. The takeaway for readers is that usage frequency is not a proxy for public acceptance, and AI deployment in hiring, healthcare or government may face more resistance than adoption numbers suggest.
