A recent poll conducted by Noble Predictive Insights found that 57% of American voters do not trust artificial intelligence to provide accurate and unbiased information about politics and current events. The poll, which surveyed 2,585 respondents, found that 29% of voters said they did not trust AI “very much” and 28% said they did not trust it “at all”.

Divided Trust

While there was a divide in trust among partisan lines, with 39% of Republicans and 34% of Democrats saying they trust AI “a great deal” for information on politics and current events, the biggest divide in trust came between younger and older respondents. About 54% of respondents ages 18-29 do not have much trust for AI, compared to 64% of respondents older than 65.

According to Mike Noble, founder of Noble Predictive Insights, the difference in trust between younger and older generations comes down to the prevalence of technology. “There’s a big gap between the two on their technological experience,” Noble said. “Older folks are definitely much less trustworthy when it comes to AI being able to deliver the news.”

Respondents with greater educational backgrounds and higher household incomes were more likely to trust AI “a great deal” to deliver information on politics and current events. About 40% of respondents with a college degree said they trust AI “a great deal” to deliver news and events, compared to 34% of respondents with no college degree who said the same.
