Metrigy AI Sentiment and Usage: 3Q 2026

Author: Matt Craig, Senior Director of Product Development

The Metrigy AI Sentiment Index is a quarterly measure of how the American public perceives and uses artificial intelligence. Built on a demographically representative survey of U.S. adults, the index tracks sentiment across three dimensions—personal, societal, and economic—and distinguishes how people feel about AI today versus where they expect it to head over the next decade. Each report explores adoption and usage patterns, attitudes in the workplace, trust and transparency concerns, and how sentiment varies across income, education, gender, and age—tracking the direction of public sentiment toward AI quarter over quarter and what it means for businesses navigating an AI-driven landscape.
