“Gen Z used to embrace AI. Now most young adults fear it will steal their jobs.” A recent Pew Research Center poll “found 55% of U.S. adults under 30 are more concerned than excited about AI, up from 39% in 2024.” Nearly three quarters of Gen Z respondents “believe AI will lead to fewer jobs over the next two decades.” They also cited concerns about the threats AI poses to creativity, connection and society itself.

America’s standing in the world has tumbled to “its lowest point in nearly two decades.” The most recent Pew Research Center poll of 13 countries found that only 34% of respondents had positive views of the U.S. and only 16% had confidence in President Trump. Interestingly the Belgians had the lowest confidence in Mr. Trump (just 9%) while “the president’s highest rating among the countries polled was in Japan, where a quarter of those surveyed said they trusted Mr Trump.”
