Americans split on AI's future as leadership stalls and classrooms struggle
In a rare moment of political symmetry, Americans across all ideologies have found common ground, not in unity of belief, but in collective uncertainty. Artificial Intelligence, once the darling of Silicon Valley hype and academic theory, now stands at the centre of a divided American consciousness. According to the NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey, opinions on AI are fractured and unresolved, with no clear party, age group, or ideological bloc leading the charge. The future, it seems, is no longer left or right; it's undecided. This ambivalence plays out in stark numbers. Just 7% of Americans believe AI will make their lives 'much better,' while 16% believe it will make things 'much worse.' The bulk of the nation hovers in the gray middle, unsure, anxious, and watching. Policy paralysis in Washington Despite AI's growing ubiquity, from customer service to content creation, Washington remains stubbornly inert. The few regulatory frameworks introduced under President Joe Biden have largely been dismantled by the Trump administration. President Donald Trump's rollback of AI oversight has since become part of a broader Republican embrace of tech deregulation, allowing powerful AI corporations to operate in an ethical vacuum. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Laku keras kat Guardian! Umur 40-an pun tak perlu kolagen dah URUHIME MOMOKO Undo Yet, this isn't a battle of partisan lines. The poll reveals that Democrats, Republicans, and independents use AI tools like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini at nearly identical rates. This technological neutrality, though rare in a polarized nation, has resulted not in consensus but in chaos. Schools on the frontline If AI is the future, then America's classrooms are its proving grounds. But here, too, the nation is torn. A narrow majority, 53%, believes integrating AI into education better prepares students for the future. The remaining 47% argue the opposite, fearing dependency, diminished learning, and ethical blind spots. Educators are divided, not by doctrine but by desperation. Some are reverting to old-school tactics, handwritten essays, in-person exams, and AI detection software, while others are innovating with AI-integrated assignments. No red, no blue—just gray Surprisingly, the AI debate defies political stereotypes. Fifty-seven percent of Democrats support classroom AI use, compared to 50% of Republicans and 51% of independents. On the flip side, half of Republicans and nearly half of independents say banning AI better equips students, a view shared by 43% of Democrats. This strange ideological neutrality extends beyond education. When asked whether AI will improve their families' futures, 50% of Republicans said yes, alongside 42% of Democrats and 41% of independents. Similarly, 39% of Republicans and 47% of Democrats believe AI will worsen lives. For once, the partisan compass is spinning without direction. A nation holding its breath Even age, often a key indicator in tech adoption, offers no clear fault lines. Younger adults, ages 18–29, are evenly split on whether schools should embrace or ban AI. Those aged 30–44 lean slightly more toward integration, but older generations remain similarly indecisive. The result: A technological revolution without a generational leader. Despite AI's explosive potential, the national mood is less one of enthusiasm and more of caution, an eerie calm before an uncharted storm. Waiting for a tipping point In the absence of decisive legislation, AI's integration into American life is being dictated not by lawmakers but by market forces, educators, and individual choices. Companies continue to roll out AI education tools, OpenAI's ChatGPT Edu, Google's Gemini for education, and Microsoft Copilot, while platforms like Khan Academy experiment with AI-powered tutors. Yet without a guiding national vision, these tools risk deepening inequality and confusion. The NBC poll doesn't merely capture public opinion; it reveals a country stuck in philosophical limbo. The question is no longer whether AI will shape the future; it already is. The question now is: whose future will it serve, and at what cost? Until America decides, AI remains a mirror, not of what we believe, but of what we fear to answer. Is your child ready for the careers of tomorrow?

Donald Trump's Verbal Gaffes Under Spotlight At Hearing Meant For Biden
New Delhi: A Senate hearing to scrutinise former US President Joe Biden's mental acuity, took a 180-degree turn with Illinois Senator Dick Durbin putting Donald Trump in the spotlight. Durbin, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, played a video montage of Trump's verbal gaffes, calling attention to the US President's own cognitive abilities. "I'd like you to see a short video that includes some other examples of cognitive ability," Durbin said, as he introduced the clip. The footage included bizarre one-liners such as: "They're eating the dogs, the people that came in. They're eating the cats. They're eating." "This is a tough hurricane, one of the wettest we've ever seen from the standpoint of water." "The windmills are driving the whales crazy, obviously." "I have concepts of a plan." "The kidney has a very special place in the heart." "And then I see the disinfectant that knocks [COVID-19] out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside, or almost a cleaning?" Durbin also referred to a recent Trump gaffe at the G7 summit in Canada where the President fumbled trade documents and wrongly claimed the UK was part of the European Union. Before playing the video, the Senator criticised his Republican colleagues for convening the hearing, which aimed to investigate Biden's mental sharpness and alleged efforts to cover up any decline. "This is our first Judiciary Committee oversight hearing of the 118th Congress," Durbin said. "And not one single oversight hearing has been held despite numerous critical challenges facing the nation that are under our jurisdiction." He went on to list those challenges, including the shooting of two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, the removal of Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) by federal agents, and the deployment of Marines and the deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles under Trump's administration. "But instead of exercising this constitutional oversight duty," he continued, "my Republican colleagues are holding this hearing. Apparently, armchair diagnosing former President Biden is more important than the issues of grave concern, which I have mentioned." Last year, mounting concerns over Joe Biden's mental acuity, fuelled by a string of public gaffes, ultimately forced him to withdraw from the 2024 race and endorse former Vice President Kamala Harris. Repeated slip-ups, like calling Ukraine's Volodydmyr Zelensky "President Putin," mixing up Trump and Harris, and freezing during the presidential debate, intensified bipartisan concerns about his cognitive health. A particularly poor showing at the G7 summit and NATO events only added to the growing unease. Democratic leaders, alarmed by internal polling and public backlash, began pressuring Biden behind the scenes. After weeks of speculation and rising calls to step aside, Biden announced on July 21, 2024, that he would not seek re-election.
