Americans Are Using AI More Than Ever, But They Trust It Less Than They Ever Have

The Racial and Gender Divide in AI Adoption
Pew's data also reveals important differences in AI adoption and attitudes across racial and gender lines.
Among racial groups, Asian adults show the highest rate of chatbot adoption at 70%, making them the most enthusiastic AI users of any demographic group. They are also the only group where positive views about AI's impact outnumber negative ones. This is a significant outlier in an otherwise largely pessimistic landscape.
Gender differences in adoption are smaller than might have been expected. Men and women now use chatbots at roughly equal rates: 50% for men versus 47% for women. However, men are more likely to be daily users, with 27% of men using AI chatbots every day compared to 20% of women.
On the question of attitudes, women tend to be more pessimistic about AI's personal impact than men. Thirty-three percent of women expect AI to have a negative impact on them personally, compared to 27% of men. This gender gap in AI skepticism is a relatively consistent finding across research on technology attitudes and may reflect concerns about how AI is being designed, who it is being designed for, and what the economic consequences of automation will be for industries where women are heavily represented.
The 51% Who Refuse to Use It: What Non-Users Are Saying
While adoption is growing, a majority of Americans, 51%, still say they don't use AI chatbots at all. Understanding why matters enormously for the future trajectory of AI adoption.
Among non-users, 60% cite lack of interest as a major reason for avoiding these tools. They simply don't see a compelling reason to use them. Fifty-four percent raise privacy concerns, reflecting the broader data security anxiety that runs through the entire survey. Forty-five percent say they don't trust the accuracy of AI-generated information, a concern that has been validated repeatedly by high-profile cases of AI systems producing confident-sounding but factually wrong answers. Twenty-nine percent say they don't know how to use AI chatbots, suggesting that ease of use and digital literacy remain meaningful barriers.
Only 3% of non-users say social judgment is a reason they avoid chatbots, which tells us something interesting: the stigma around AI use has essentially evaporated. Not using AI is no longer embarrassing; it is simply a personal choice that most non-users feel perfectly comfortable making without worrying about what others think.
Most non-users also appear settled in their decision. Sixty-seven percent say they are unlikely to use a chatbot in the next 12 months. That is not a population that is on the fence. That is a population that has made a considered decision to opt out, at least for now.
