About this research<\/summary>\n

This study is Pew Research Center\u2019s latest effort to explore how Americans use and view artificial intelligence (AI). The study also dives into who uses chatbots and has smart home devices with AI features. It also explores what impact people think AI will have on society and on them, personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did we do this?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We surveyed 5,119 U.S. adults from Feb. 17 to 23, 2026. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP)<\/a>. The survey represents the views of the full U.S. adult population.

Here are\u00a0the\u00a0questions used\u00a0for this report,<\/a> the topline<\/a> and the\u00a0survey methodology<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Americans\u2019 use of and views about artificial intelligence (AI) aren\u2019t the same across groups, with race and ethnicity often playing a big factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asian adults stand out for their chatbot use and are often more optimistic about the future and impact of AI.[10.numoffset=”10″ This pattern persists even when accounting for respondents\u2019 gender, age, income and education. This is the case across the findings throughout the text in this section.] <\/p>\n\n\n\n
