Three-quarters of Americans say they trust information generated by artificial intelligence (AI) only sometimes or hardly ever, according to a recent survey.
The Quinnipiac University poll, released Wednesday, shows 51 percent of respondents say they think they can trust AI-created information “some of the time,” while 24 percent say they think they can trust it “hardly ever.”
Another 18 percent said they can trust the information “most of the time,” and 4 percent said they trust it “almost all the time," the survey found.
Pollsters said this skepticism is reassuring.
"It's reassuring that a vast majority of Americans trust information generated by AI only some of the time or hardly ever, since it indicates that they have a healthy amount of skepticism when they use AI as a tool for research," Brian O'Neill, a Quinnipiac University associate professor of computer science, said in statement.
The groups with the highest levels of trust in information generated by AI are men, younger generations and wealthier Americans.
Among men, 28 percent say they trust AI-generated information either almost all the time, 7 percent, or most of the time, 21 percent — while 15 percent of women say they trust it either almost all the time, 1 percent, or most of the time, 14 percent, per the poll.
The split was wider among generations, with 30 percent of Generation Z respondents saying they trust AI-generated information almost all or most of the time — compared to 28 percent of Millennials, 22 percent of Generation X, 12 percent of Baby Boomers and 9 percent of the Silent Generation.
Among people whose household income is greater than $200,000 annually, 38 percent trust AI almost all or most of the time, the data show.
Trust drops off among lower income brackets. Those who say they trust the AI-generated information almost all or most of the time include 20 percent of those making less than $50k annually, 19 percent of those making $50-100k annually and 21 percent of those making $100-200k annually.
The Quinnipiac survey, conducted April 3-7, includes 1,562 adults and has a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.
