Anthropic Public Record: First wave survey of 52,000 Americans on AI attitudes

Anthropic released results from its first Anthropic Public Record survey, a nationally representative poll of nearly 52,000 Americans conducted in November–December 2025. Key findings: 64% fear AI-induced job loss (top fear in every state), 56% fear cognitive dependency, over 70% support government regulation of AI, and only 15% trust AI companies to self-govern. The survey found broad bipartisan consensus on AI concerns and accountability, with Americans prioritizing legal liability for AI companies and safety over growth. Anthropic plans to repeat the survey regularly and expand internationally.
