A recent report from the Archbridge Institute found that a majority of U.S. adults say they are living the American Dream and are proud to be Americans. The survey, which was conducted in April and featured 2,069 respondents, also revealed that negative sentiments toward AI’s effect on the American Dream have risen.

Key Findings

According to the report, 67% of those surveyed have achieved or are pursuing the American Dream. Freedom of choice in how to live and having a good family life are essential aspects of the American Dream to those surveyed, followed by retiring comfortably and owning a home. Becoming wealthy is not a top priority, with 17% saying it is essential.

Seventy-three percent of those surveyed are proud to be Americans, prompting the president and CEO of the Archbridge Institute, Gonzalo Schwarz, to note that patriotism is still running high in the nation. Schwarz added that 80% of Americans think that you can be patriotic regardless of political or religious beliefs.

Concerns about AI

However, the survey also found that 43% of Americans say that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will act as a hindrance to realizing the American Dream. Schwarz noted that the results regarding the relationship between AI and the American Dream are more negative since last year, suggesting that many Americans are more concerned about how new technology will affect their ability to achieve the American Dream.
