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.
