41% of Young Voters Would Give Artificial Intelligence Government Power
While many Americans are concerned about the implications of artificial intelligence technology, a significant number of voters under 40 are willing to let AI exercise tremendous power in society and government.
A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports and the Glenn C. Haskins Emerging Issues Center of the Heartland Institute finds that 41% of Likely U.S. Voters ages 18 to 39 would support a proposal to take power away from most human lawmakers and instead give an advanced AI system the authority to control the majority of public policy decisions. That includes 21% who Strongly Support letting AI have public policy authority. Forty-nine percent (49%) of younger voters would oppose putting an advanced artificial intelligence system in charge of public policy, including 35% who Strongly Oppose such a proposal, while 10% are not sure.

More than a third of under-40 voters would let artificial intelligence replace the U.S. Constitution and the Supreme Court. Thirty-six percent (36%) support giving an advanced AI system the authority to determine the rights that belong to individuals and families, including rights related to speech, religious practices, government authority, and property. That includes 15% who Strongly Support allowing Americans’ rights to be determined by artificial intelligence. Fifty-six percent (56%) are opposed, including 38% who Strongly Oppose replacing the Constitution with an AI system.
