Our research shows that more than 3/4 of frequent #AI users are likely to support a pause in development to address safety issues (78%). justcapital.com/news/the-jus…
A majority of U.S. adults said AI is a bad thing for society, with about one-third saying it is “extremely” or “very” bad.
Roughly two thirds of Americans overall say the government is not doing enough to regulate the growth and development of AI. wapo.st/47ssKtw

A few of the latest pieces of data from our National #AI Monitor:
✅ About half of Americans aged 25 to 54 expected AI to help them in the coming years, while 18-24 were notably less optimistic. Among 55+ the split between positivity and negativity was almost exactly even.
💰 Only 34% of those earning under $50,000 expected AI to improve their lives, compared with 44% to 48% in higher brackets. 23% of lower-income Americans were not sure. Optimism rose with income in August as well.
👧 Only 35% of women expected AI to improve their lives, compared with 54% of men, and were slightly more likely to expect harm (36%) than benefit.

Amazing to see @AnthropicAI committing 5% of its IPO to the public good. As I've said for a long time, AI needs a new story and the most important thing AI companies can do is articulate their investment in humans, not just machines.
This is the theme of my conversation with Anthropic president @DanielaAmodei for Alice Walton's Health and AI conference, which we'll be sharing later this week. Daniela and I explore recursive self-improvement for humans, the potential for AI hyper-personalization to transform health, and the value of human wisdom in a world where AI is dethroning intelligence. It’s time to stop placing all our bets on the machines!

Good. 65% of Americans believe that the public should recieve a direct financial benefit from the wealth AI companies generate: justcapital.com/news/the-jus…
We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.

“There’s an assumption that Americans are against AI, but the people we’re hearing from continue to tell a more hopeful story. Americans’ optimism may be one of the most underappreciated signals in the AI conversation today. " -@MWhittaker_

The rise of the ordinary American's voice in defining a "just" company — and how broader stakeholders influence business practice, from @JustCapital CEO Martin Whittaker on Off the Rak

Young women are more worried than young men that #AI will reduce their ability to find an entry-level job in their field, and that pattern holds across every field.
The American public agrees. 79% of the public assign responsibility to companies that build that systems if an AI program goes wrong.

Today @mikeallen wrote about #AI's existential legal crisis: “The liabilities won't be limited to AI companies. Any corporate user of powerful AI systems that unleashes rogue agents, even without intending to do harm, would face substantial penalties as well.”
Our polls agree ⬇️
The American public, investors, and corporate leaders assign nearly equal responsibility to those who who build AI systems and those who use them.
