Poll: Americans Skeptical of AI Even as Chatbots Spread

A Pew Research poll finds Americans expect AI to harm society more than help (16% positive vs 40% negative) even as 49% use AI chatbots and 25% use them daily; Gen Z shows the most usage but also the highest concern, while older groups use less and worry less. The disconnect between heavy adoption and negative perception, plus workplace pressures and industry hype, raises questions about AI's long-term viability.

Americans grow friendlier toward China, but still see it as a competitor

A Pew Research Center poll shows Americans’ favorable view of China rose to 27% in March 2026, up from 14% in 2023, while those calling China an enemy fell to 28%.

With Trump planning a visit to China next month, the evolving dynamic could influence U.S.–China engagement.

"The Financial Strain of Supporting Adult Children: A Growing Trend Impacting Parents' Retirement Savings"

A Pew Research study reveals that three-fifths of parents with adult children provided financial assistance in the past year, highlighting the ongoing financial support parents provide to their grown-up kids. With economic challenges facing young adults, including rising college costs and house prices, many parents are dipping into their retirement savings to help their children with expenses such as groceries, utilities, rent, and education. While this support can be a blessing in some cases, financial planners caution that parents need to ensure their own financial needs are met and avoid jeopardizing their retirement savings.
