Fox News Poll: Voter sentiment on AI improves, but skepticism remains

As large tech companies continue to take the lead implementing artificial intelligence (AI) into their platforms and workplaces, the latest Fox News national survey finds that while positive reviews of AI have increased, many remain skeptical about its role in society.

The survey, released Thursday, finds 43% view AI technology as a good thing for society, up 5 points from April 2023. Still, nearly half of voters, 47%, think AI is bad for society -- about where it was two years ago (46% bad in April 2023). 

FOX NEWS POLL: 6 IN 10 ARE PROUD OF US TODAY – THE MOST IN MORE THAN A DECADE

Overall, urban voters (60%), nonwhite voters (56%), voters under age 45 (53%), and men (52%) are those most likely to say AI is a good thing, while rural voters (55%), White voters (51%), voters ages 45 and over (49%), and women (55%) are likely to say it’s a bad thing.

Views are mixed among Democrats (44% good, 46% bad), while Republicans are more likely to say AI is good (47%, 42%). A majority of Independents think it’s bad (34% good vs. 58% bad).

When voters are asked what their first reaction is to AI, without the aid of a list, 43% offer a negative response, up 8 points since 2023. The most common answers include fear (15%), distrust (15%), or general negativity (13%). Only 3% of voters say the possibility that AI will threaten jobs is their first reaction.

Positive feelings also increased, as 26% react warmly, up 8 points since 2023. Those responses include innovation (11%), general positivity (10%), and cautious optimism (5%).

FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS VIEW LEGAL IMMIGRATION AS HELPFUL, FAVOR DEPORTING THOSE WHO ARE HERE ILLEGALLY

Others have mixed feelings about AI (9%), or point out the potential for abuse (4%), confusion surrounding AI (2%), the need for regulation (2%), privacy concerns (2%), the similarity between AI to science fiction (1%), and the need for more research (1%).

"Voters are all over the map when it comes to artificial intelligence," says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News survey with Democrat Chris Anderson. "But there has been a slight increase in comfort and positivity as people come to grips with a world with A.I."

Overall, 27% say they use AI platforms regularly, either daily (11%) or weekly (16%), while another 15% say monthly. A majority (57%) says they use it rarely (19%) or never (38%).

Those most likely to use AI regularly are nonwhite men (48% daily/weekly), Hispanic voters (45%), urban voters (43%), and voters under age 45 (40%). Those least likely are rural voters (13% daily/weekly), Independents (15%), women ages 45 and over (16%), and Whites without a degree (17%).

Voters who see AI as bad for society are more likely to say they use it rarely (77%) than those who consider AI as a good thing to say they use it regularly (47%).

By a 21-point margin, more feel confident they can determine whether something they read, see, or hear was created by AI rather than a human (60% confident, 39% not).

The opposite is true when it comes to government regulation. A majority lack confidence that the government can properly regulate AI (38% confident can regulate, 62% not confident).

More Republicans (52%) think the government can properly regulate AI than Democrats (30%) and Independents (25%), while majorities of each group are confident they can identify artificial intelligence content.

Conducted June 13-16, 2025, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,003 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (149) and cellphones (566) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (288). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics of respondents are representative of the registered voter population. Sources for developing weight targets include the American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis and voter file data.

Kylie Kelce Denies Intentionally Sabotaging Jason Kelce Speedo Bet

Jason Kelce fans, you have his wife, Kylie Kelce, to thank for that viral speedo moment at a charity event for the Eagles Autism Foundation on Wednesday, June 25.

Kylie, 33, admitted that it was her “feeding him donuts and buying baked goods” that contributed to Jason, 37, standing up on a chair and ripping off his shorts to reveal a red, white and blue speedo.

“I did know the speedo was happening because this bet has been in effect between Jason and [former Philadelphia Eagles teammate] Beau Allen for a very long time. I want to say three months that they have been on a weight loss journey,” Kylie revealed on the Thursday, July 3 episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast. “I know the penalty was to wear a speedo to the [Ocean Drive] event. I also know that I’ve been feeding him donuts and buying baked goods when appropriate. And was it a little bit of sabotage? No. If it was, Beau Allen, you owe me some money because you’re welcome.”

Jason first announced the bet during a March episode of his “New Heights” podcast, which he hosts with brother Travis Kelce.

“Beau Allen reached out, and he said, ‘Hey, do you wanna do a competition on who can lose the most body fat percentage but still gain muscle?’” he said. “I don’t know, Beau wants to have some competition, so we agreed to get DXA scans.”

Jason then explained that the loser would have to wear a speedo at the Ocean Drive charity event. Kylie, for her part, was not present when Jason made his big reveal. She was feeding the couple’s 3-month-old daughter, Finnley , at the time. (The couple also shares daughters Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, and Bennett, 2.)

Kylie said she wasn’t there because she didn’t want to be part of the event’s introductions. She wasn’t aware that Jason would get up on a chair and rip his shorts off.

“By the time I was coming back, I had received a text message of the behind angle and him proceeding to Magic Mike his shorts off,” she said. “I had not seen this move before. I don’t know if he practiced. If he did, it was with doors closed … Am I bitter about it? A little bit.”

She also acknowledged the irony of Jason’s viral moment happening just days after she asked fans to stop thirsting over her husband on social media. Kylie promises the timing was not intentional.

“I do think it’s comical that I just asked you guys to stop putting drool emojis under my husband and then he came out in a crop top and did breakaway shorts,” she said. “I do see that. I wasn’t trying to set you guys up for failure. It was a timely thing that I needed to address based on the thirst traps of my husband … then he just went on and continued to be sexy, I can’t help that.”

Here are the letters that convinced Google and Apple to keep TikTok online

Attorney General Pam Bondi at a lectern alongside President Donald Trump

A Freedom of Information Act request has produced letters that the US Department of Justice sent to Google, Apple, Amazon, and several other companies in order to assuage their concerns about breaking a law that banned US web services from working with TikTok.

The documents — obtained by Zhaocheng Anthony Tan, a Google shareholder who sued for their release earlier this year — show Attorney General Pam Bondi and her predecessor Acting Attorney General James McHenry III promising to release companies from responsibility for violating the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which required US companies to ban TikTok from app stores and other platforms or face hundreds of billions of dollars in fines. The law was intended to force a sale of TikTok from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, due to national security concerns.

Additionally, the letters say the Justice Department will step in to prevent anyone else from attempting to enforce penalties, a promise that includes filing amicus briefs or “intervening in litigation.” McHenry apparently sent the first round of letters on January 30th, ten days after Trump signed an executive order delaying enforcement of the law, which took effect the day before his inauguration. A series of follow-up letters were sent by Bondi, including a round dated April 5th, just after Trump extended the delay on enforcing the law to mid-June.

The letters’ existence was known, but until now, their text had not been released. The full list of recipients includes the operators of app stores, cloud hosting services, and more:

  • Apple
  • Google
  • Amazon
  • Microsoft
  • Akamai Technologies
  • Digital Realty Trust
  • Fastly
  • T-Mobile US
  • Oracle
  • LG Electronics USA

Trump has since issued a third extension, which expires in mid-September, while promising a sale of TikTok by ByteDance to a non-Chinese owner remains underway. It is unclear whether any of the orders have a valid basis in law.
