^{Insights from Pew Research Center}

The Scoop:

A recent Pew Research Center survey reveals that 54% of Americans believe AI programs like ChatGPT and DALL-E should credit the sources of their content. Only 14% feel otherwise, while a third remain undecided. This sentiment reflects growing public engagement with AI technologies, particularly among younger users.

As generative AI tools analyze extensive data from various sources to respond to user queries, the debate continues between viewing their use as fair or as copyright infringement. The consensus among the public leans towards a need for transparency and proper attribution in AI-generated content.
