Announcements Results from the first Anthropic Public Record Jun 12, 2026 We’re conducting a new survey series, Anthropic Public Record, to understand how the public thinks and feels about AI, and presenting a snapshot of the results from the first wave, fielded in November and December of 2025 with nearly 52,000 Americans. We found: Nearly half (48%) of Americans ranked curing diseases like cancer or Alzheimer’s as one of their top three hopes for AI, followed by helping people with disabilities (36%), then making technological progress and making life easier in general (tied at 23%). AI-induced job loss was the most common fear in every state, held by 64% of Americans. The second most prominent fear was cognitive dependency (56%), followed by misinformation (52%). Support for government intervention in AI was high: over 70% of the Americans we surveyed believe the government should play a role in regulating AI, and this support was bipartisan. People were most eager to see the government take action on AI in the areas of privacy (56%), child safety (52%), and liability for harm (49%). When asked what would best ensure AI is of benefit to humanity, Americans ranked holding AI companies legally liable for harm (47%) and prioritizing safety over growth (44%) as the highest-leverage actions. Only 15% of Americans said they trust AI companies to make decisions about how AI is developed and used. Job-loss worry Integrated users Support for gov involvement Strikingly, on most questions, AI did not heavily divide Americans along typical partisan, geographic, or educational lines. In general, there was broad consensus across topics: Americans are eager to realize AI’s promised benefits but fear the disruption it may bring, and they want accountability from the companies building it. To the extent we saw disagreement, it was largely only in the intensity of people's views. This research builds on other work underway at Anthropic to understand how people use Claude and think about AI development. We recently conducted a global qualitative study of 81,000 Claude users through Anthropic Interviewer , our tool for conducting in-depth interviews at scale. We also regularly release data from the Anthropic Economic Index , which draws on anonymized Claude usage data to show how people around the world are employing AI. The Anthropic Public Record survey marks the first time we’ve spoken to the general public, allowing us to reach non-users of AI and better understand how attitudes differ across demographic lines. The Anthropic Public Record will be repeated regularly, evolving in scope as new topics become more salient, and allowing us to track how the public’s attitudes towards AI change as model capabilities advance and adoption deepens. In the future, we plan to expand outside the US. Method in brief We conducted a nationally representative online survey in November and December of 2025 of 51,993 Americans, sourced from YouGov and weighted to US Census benchmarks. State samples range from n=232 (Alaska) to n=1,902 (New York), with state-level margins of error between ±2.6 and ±9.1 percentage points. More details on the methodology are available in the Appendix. What Americans hope AI will deliver We asked Americans to choose their top three hopes for AI from a list of 17. Curing disease topped the list, with 48% of respondents putting it in their top three, 12 percentage points ahead of the second most commonly selected item, helping people with disabilities, at 36%. Items like therapy and reducing loneliness—or hopes that AI might substitute for human contact—were the lowest ranked of the options presented. What Americans fear We gave respondents a list of 20 possible harms from AI, asked them to flag each one they felt personally concerned by and then to rate each on a five-point scale of how worried they were. We considered any response of 2 (somewhat worried) or higher as worried. (This methodology differs from the question above
