Americans Trust AI-Powered Election Information, AP-NORC/USAFacts Poll Shows

The article discusses a poll conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and USAFacts, which found that a majority of Americans are open to using artificial intelligence (AI) to help make decisions about elections. The key findings include: 1) Around 6 in 10 Americans say they would trust AI-assisted information at least somewhat to help determine which candidates to vote for. 2) About two-thirds have at least some trust in AI to help count votes and about 7 in 10 have at least some trust in AI to help identify voter intimidation or discrimination. 3) The poll suggests that Americans are interested in harnessing AI to help solve problems around elections, though they remain somewhat skeptical of the technology. 4) The findings come as AI systems are increasingly being used for a variety of purposes, including by election officials to monitor social media for potential threats.
