Despite the growing usage, less than half of users had a positive experience with AI.<\/li>\n<li>Only two positive impacts: Only medical care (53% optimism) and work productivity (39% optimism) are seen as positively impacted by AI, with other areas like elections, economics, and relationships showing more pessimism than optimism.<\/li>\n<li>Fear of the job market: Seventy-two percent believe AI will lead to fewer jobs, with many worried that they might lose their job to AI technology in the next ten years.<\/li>\n<li>Opposition to data centers: The poll also found strong opposition to data centers that house AI-powering computers, with majority of voters opposing such in their towns. Bipartisan opposition exists with 45% supporting a halt in data center development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Poll: Concern about AI is growing among NH residents, but so is AI use https:\/\/www.nhpr.org\/nh-news\/2026-06-08\/poll-concern-about-ai-is-growing-among-nh-residents-but-so-is-ai-use&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":227684,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/8035375\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/1272x668+113+0\/resize\/1200x630!\/quality\/90\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F77%2F86%2Fbbc7cfee45aa8e8ac3add11c171c%2Fscreenshot-2026-06-04-at-5-40-20-pm.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-227682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227682"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227682"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227682\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":227685,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227682\/revisions\/227685"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
