The Cat

quiet and skeptical

This is one of six attitude groups from our national survey. Take the quiz to see where you fit.

Cats are skeptical of AI in serious settings but don't want strong rules either. Nearly half describe themselves as politically moderate, and they reject most of the policy responses people propose: only 13% strongly support extra unemployment benefits for workers displaced by AI.

  • describe themselves as politically moderate (nearly half do, the highest rate of any group)

Six attitude groups emerged from the survey.
Here's where each one sits on the factors that separate the data most: trust in AI and support for regulation.

🦉 Owl 🐈 Cat 🦊 Fox 🐬 Dolphin 🐦‍⬛ Crow 🦦 Otter min = 0 max = 1 max = 1 min = 0 Trust in AI Support for regulation

Trust orders the groups, with Owls least trusting and Dolphins most trusting. All groups are generally supportive of regulation, which is why the lower half of the graph is mostly empty.
