The survey captures how people in Britain feel about AI. Many see benefits in narrow, tangible uses like health diagnostics. But they are cautious about broader applications that affect jobs, privacy, or decision-making. Awareness is mixed: a fair share have some knowledge or exposure, while many don’t. Those who use AI more often tend to view it more favorably. Trust and risk perception diverge across age, experience, and context: older groups tend to emphasize risks, while younger people lean toward opportunity. Also, people generally want stronger governance: regulation, transparency, human oversight, and safeguards increase their comfort with AI.
