AI in Everyday Life Surges While Trust Slips, Quinnipiac Poll Finds

A Quinnipiac national poll finds Americans are using AI more in daily life but remain wary: trust in AI-generated information is low (only about 21% say they trust it most or almost all of the time), a majority (55%) think AI will do more harm than good in day-to-day life, and 70% expect AI to reduce job opportunities with Gen Z the most pessimistic about the labor market. Americans call for greater transparency and regulation, oppose AI for military targeting at higher rates, yet hold nuanced views on AI in healthcare, education, and political ads. The survey of 1,397 adults (±3.3 percentage points) also shows widespread experience with AI tools and varying confidence in spotting AI-generated media across generations.

Epstein Estate Trust Names Girlfriend and Inner Circle as Heirs

Jeffrey Epstein’s late-1953 Trust, disclosed in DOJ files, earmarks about $100 million for his girlfriend Karyna Shuliak (including a $50 million annuity) and assigns $50 million to his lawyer Darren Indyke and $25 million to his in-house accountant Richard Kahn; other named beneficiaries include Epstein’s brother Mark Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Harvard professor Martin Nowak among roughly 40 potential heirs. The estate’s value has fallen from about $600 million to roughly $120 million after taxes, legal fees, and settlements, while a victim-restitution fund has already paid out more than $121 million, with no provision for abuse victims in the trust.

Two Health Announcements, Diverging Paths to Trust

Emily Oster weighs two January HHS moves under RFK Jr.: a controversial overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule and a streamlined set of dietary guidelines. She argues the vaccine changes lack new safety evidence and risk eroding trust, while the dietary guidelines largely reflect prior data and could improve public understanding if communicated clearly. The piece underscores how trust in public health is fragile, and linking skeptical vaccine messaging with seemingly reasonable dietary guidance creates a difficult messaging environment.
