Three-quarters of Americans reported some level of fear and concern about the growth and development of artificial intelligence, according to a CNN survey cited by The Hill. The poll was released Thursday amid calls from some technology industry leaders and lawmakers to slow AI development.

TechCrunch reported that unease extends even to Americans who use AI every day. Its account of the findings suggested that greater exposure to the technology is unlikely by itself to eliminate public concern or reduce support for AI regulation.

The remaining 25% were not among respondents who reported some level of fear and concern.
