The poll surveyed 1,001 registered US voters, revealing that 62% expressed varying levels of concern about AI, with a remarkable 86% believing that AI could inadvertently lead to a catastrophic event. Interestingly, the majority of respondents (56%) support the idea of a federal agency overseeing AI regulation, while a striking 82% voiced their skepticism about leaving the task to tech executives. Additionally, 72% of participants expressed a preference for slowing down AI development, emphasizing caution over haste.
