NinaDSchick · x · 2026-08-21
Nina Schick's HAPI poll highlights a major PR crisis for AI developers. Data shows: two-thirds of Americans say they do not trust any major AI developers; 69% are not confident AI companies will act responsibly, with only 13% believing they will; and seven out of ten Americans want mandatory independent safety audits before new models are released. This deep distrust of 'tech' goes beyond general tech-skepticism.
