Welcome to AI Meets Politics

Artificial Intelligence is changing how we live, work, and govern. But what do people actually think about it?

AI Meets Politics explores public perceptions of AI — what people use, what they fear, and what they believe it will mean for society. Based on a nationally representative UK survey, and with comparative data from across Europe on the way, this project puts public attitudes at the centre of the AI debate.
​
The first results are out now — showing striking divides by age, gender, and class in how AI is used and trusted in daily life.
​
Coming soon:

• Full cross-country comparison across 8 European countries
• Results on fairness, trust, and AI in hiring
• Survey experiments on bias, AI-generated counter speech, and more
• Slide decks, media-ready charts, and open data access
