An Ipsos probability-based survey (n=1,008, April 2023) found that 71% of Americans express concern about AI's impact on jobs and society, 76% worry about deepfakes and misinformation, and only 16% report having ever used a generative AI system. Adoption remained low despite heightened public anxiety, with most uses concentrated in art/image creation, job text generation (29%), and social media posts (14%). This snapshot captures early-stage public perception and behavioral adoption at the moment of ChatGPT's emergence into mainstream awareness. For financial institutions assessing AI-driven labor displacement claims, this data establishes baseline US consumer concern and actual usage rates in the critical period before scaling.
