How well does Stated Risk Preference predict Americans' AI Support?
The current data support the following:
- Stated Risk Preference is a statistically significant predictor of AI Support.
- Higher Stated Risk Preference is associated with greater AI Support.
- Results update daily.
- Based on responses from daily samples of American adults.
- Aggregated over the entire data.
- Data collection began: 2024-02-16.
- Most recent data collected on: 2025-02-21.

Methods, briefly
General Risk Question from Individual Risk Attitudes: Measurement, Determinants, and Behavioral Consequences. For more detail, please read Thinking Machines, Pondering Humans.
On a seven-point agreement scale, randomly selected American adults responded to the item: I support further development of artificial intelligence. From 2024-02-16 forward, I have collected 4089 responses.
I have presented detailed methods in Americans' Support for AI Development - Measured Daily with Open Data and Methods.
