Poll says slow AI down, not stop it. So we'll keep the robot but ask it nicely.
Will AI Harm Humans? Poll finds Americans want to slow development but not stop
A CBS News/YouGov survey of 2,051 U.S. adults, conducted September 16-18, 2026, found that most Americans worry AI models will act on their own to harm people, and even more fear people will use AI to harm others. Respondents still oppose stopping AI entirely, citing the need to compete with China and the potential for medical breakthroughs, and they favor government restrictions over promotion. Many also worry AI will take jobs.
