Gallup global poll: 72% feel curious or excited about AI vs 41% worried
steipete · x · 2026-09-24
Citing Gallup data via NYT's Damien Cave, a global survey finds an average of 72% of respondents feel curious, happy or excited about AI, versus 41% who feel worried, sad or angry — suggesting much of the world, including countries like Afghanistan, embraces AI more enthusiastically than the US tech circle does. The piece also notes NYT annoyingly didn't link the Gallup source directly.
