The study reveals that while AI is increasingly integrated into daily life, public perception has not evolved as rapidly as the technology itself. The survey highlights the **complex relationship between AI and trust**, as well as the **economic and social implications** of AI adoption. --- ## **Main Findings** ### **Public Perception of AI** - **Excitement and Nervousness**: A roughly **equal split** exists between people who feel excited and those who feel nervous about AI. In many countries, the same individuals express both emotions. - **Younger Generations**: People under 35 are more likely to use AI tools at work and are more **nervous** (52%) and **excited** (56%) about AI's potential than older demographics. - **Gender and Income**: Men tend to be more positive about AI than women. Higher-income individuals are the **least nervous**, **most positive**, and **most engaged** with AI tools, yet all income levels express concern about job replacement in the next five years. ### **AI and Daily Life** - **Current Impact**: **54%** of respondents across 32 countries believe that AI has **profoundly changed their daily lives** in the past 3–5 years. - **Future Impact**: **66%** expect AI to **profoundly change their daily lives** in the next 3–5 years. - **Global Optimism**: Only **49%** of respondents globally agree that AI benefits outweigh its environmental costs, despite widespread awareness of environmental challenges. ### **AI and the Environment** - **Environmental Concerns**: Despite the environmental impact of AI data centers, **two-thirds** of people in each market believe the **benefits outweigh the costs**. - **Global Trends**: Ipsos Global Trends data indicates that many people are concerned about an **environmental disaster**, yet they remain **pro-AI** in their outlook. --- ## **Tension and Trust** ### **Trust in AI Regulation** - **Low Trust, High Nervousness**: The U.S. stands out for **low trust** in AI regulation and **high nervousness** about its impact. - **Government Role**: A majority of Americans want the government to regulate AI, but this is not reflected in current policies, which has led to **uncertainty and distrust**. ### **Institutional Trust** - **Global Decline in Trust**: Ipsos Global Trends shows a **long-term decline** in trust in institutions, with only **43%** believing business leaders tell the truth. --- ## **AI and the Labor Market** - **Job Replacement Concerns**: Over **one-third** of respondents worry that AI will replace their jobs within the next five years. - **Tech as a Solution**: Many people view AI as a **shortcut to fix broken systems** and a tool to **gain an advantage** in a changing global economy. --- ## **The Say-Do Gap** - **Mistrust and Usage**: A **strong majority** of people, including **two-thirds** of those under 35, **do not always trust** AI tools but still use them. - **Fear of Irrelevance**: This gap is driven by a **fear of missing out** or **becoming irrelevant** in a tech-driven world. --- ## **Key Statistics** | **Question** | **32-Country Average** | **Most Agreeing Country** | **Most Disagreeing Country** | |--------------|------------------------|---------------------------|-----------------------------| | AI changed my daily life (past 3–5 years) | 54% | China (85%) | France (32%) | | AI will change my daily life (next 3–5 years) | 66% | China (85%) | France (32%) | | AI has more benefits than drawbacks | 55% | China (85%) | France (38%) | | I trust AI to protect my personal data | 47% | India (74%) | Israel (39%) | | AI makes me excited | 51% | China (83%) | France (33%) | | AI makes me nervous | 50% | Canada (67%) | Israel (36%) | --- ## **Conclusion** The **Ipsos AI Monitor 2026** highlights a **mixed global response** to AI. While there is **significant excitement** and **usage**, **nervousness and mistrust** persist, particularly in **Western countries**. The **say-do gap** suggests a **disconnect between perception and action**, with many people **using AI despite concerns**. The **young and high-income** groups are more **pro-AI**, but **concerns about job replacement** and **environmental impact** are widespread. The study underscores the **need for better communication** and **transparent regulation** to align public perception with AI's potential and risks.
