Voters of both parties want tighter AI regulation, poll finds
A new poll finds that voters across party lines support stronger regulation of artificial intelligence, suggesting broad public appetite for government oversight of the technology regardless of political affiliation.
Why this matters: Politicians often treat AI regulation as a partisan issue. Voters apparently do not. When people on both sides of the aisle want more oversight, the gap is between the public and the people they elect, not between Democrats and Republicans. That is worth paying attention to. Industries pushing against AI rules tend to argue that regulation is politically toxic. This poll suggests the opposite. The real question is whether legislators catch up to where their constituents already are.
