Pew poll finds most Americans think AI is moving too fast

A new Pew Research poll found that 49% of Americans use AI chatbots at least occasionally, The Verge reports. At the same time, 63% say the technology is advancing too quickly.

The split matters because adoption and anxiety are rising together. More people are trying AI tools, but many remain uncomfortable with the pace of deployment and the social consequences.

For AI companies and policymakers, the data is a reminder that usage alone does not equal trust. Public confidence may depend on transparency, safety, and clearer evidence of benefits.
