A new survey finds that a majority of Americans expect that abuses of AI tech will have an impact on the election, with most lacking confidence in their ability to detect faked content.
More than three-fourths of American adults believe that abuses involving the use of artificial intelligence systems will affect the outcome of the presidential election, according to a new survey. The Elon University Poll and the Imagining the Digital Future Center at Elon University survey found that 73% believe AI will be used to manipulate social media to impact the election, such as by fake accounts generating information or distorting voters' impressions of the campaign.
By nearly an 8-to-1 margin, Americans expressed the sentiment that AI will have more of a negative impact on the election than a positive one – 39% said it will hurt while 5% think it will help, with 37% unsure.
Over half of respondents, 52%, aren't confident in their own ability to detect altered or faked audio material, while 47% have those concerns about video and 45% about photos. Less than a quarter of respondents, 23%, have used large language models or generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. Republican respondents were more likely to be skeptical of bias in AI systems, with 36% saying they're biased against Republicans compared to 15% of Democrats.
