Pew Research Center draws a hard line on AI: real people answer our surveys
How Pew Research Center is – and is not – using AI in our work
Pew Research Center explains its deliberate approach to AI: humans decide research topics, write and review reports, and answer surveys—no synthetic public opinion. AI is used only for website code, data preparation, and early copy editing, with transparency promised for any meaningful use.
Real people, not machines, answer our surveys. We don’t use AI to create or model synthetic public opinion.
