Details
Anthropic has released the results of its first Anthropic Public Record survey, conducted in November and December 2025 among approximately 52,000 Americans. The survey was designed to gauge public awareness and sentiment toward AI technology.
According to the results, 48% of Americans cited AI's ability to treat diseases such as cancer or Alzheimer's as their biggest hope. On the other hand, job loss (64%) was selected as the top concern, followed by cognitive dependency (56%) and misinformation (52%).
Bipartisan support emerged regarding government regulation. Over 70% of respondents said the government should play a role in regulating AI, with particularly strong demand for action in the areas of privacy protection (56%), child safety (52%), and accountability for harm (49%).
Notably, perceptions of AI showed broad consensus that did not vary significantly by political affiliation, region, or education level. The public expects benefits from AI while also fearing the disruption it may cause, and is strongly demanding that AI companies fulfill their social responsibility.
