As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into daily life, voters hold mixed views about how (and when) it will shape their lives — and whether that impact will be positive. Asked whether AI is a good thing or a bad thing across a range of applications, half feel it’s a good thing in day-to-day life (50%), but fewer say the same when thinking about their mental health (37%) and society in general (37%). That’s according to the latest Fox News survey released on Thursday. Among employed voters, 51% feel AI is a good thing for their current job (39% say it's a bad thing).

As for what AI means for the future, by a 48-point margin, voters believe that more jobs will be eliminated (58%) by AI in the next five years than will be created (10%), with nearly every demographic sharing that feeling. Roughly one-third feel it’s too soon to say (31%).
