More Americans now believe that artificial intelligence (AI) does more harm than good, reflecting rising concerns about the technology's long-term effects. A Bentley University-Gallup survey released on Tuesday, July 29th, 2026, found that 39 percent of respondents held this view, up from 31 percent in 2023.

The survey highlights a shift in public opinion as AI continues to advance and integrate into various aspects of daily life. This growing skepticism underscores the need for ongoing discussions about AI's role and regulation in society.
