How well does Stated Risk Preference predict Americans' AI Support?

• 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: 2026-09-19.
• Total Observations: 10401.

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 10401 responses.

I have presented detailed methods in Americans' Support for AI Development - Measured Daily with Open Data and Methods.
