Young People Hate AI CEOs So Much They're More Unpopular Than Data Centers
Young People Hate AI CEOs So Passionately That It's Almost Hard to Believe
A new CNBC poll of Americans aged 18 to 34 reveals that the vast majority distrust nine prominent AI executives, including Alex Karp, Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Sam Altman. Even data centers and AI itself score better than these tech leaders. The findings reflect a decade-long shift in sentiment driven by privacy concerns, platform decay, and fears about democracy.
Asked “who do you trust to act responsibly on AI?” the vast majority of participants said they “don’t trust” any of the nine figures.
