Fox News Poll: Voters question whether AI’s promise outweighs its risks

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly politicized ahead of the midterm elections, the latest Fox News national survey finds voters struggling to reconcile the technology’s promise with the economic and environmental costs of the data centers needed to power it. 

They are especially against allowing centers in their communities while favoring them in remote locations, creating a "Not In My Backyard" dynamic.

A 71% majority opposes building AI data centers in their area, including 46% who strongly oppose them.
