2 evidence checks from 1 unique source

Last checked: 3/31/2026

The source confirms the 83% figure from a July 2023 AIPI poll. However, the claim aggregates findings across multiple AIPI polls from 2023-2024 and includes two additional statistics (77% on government regulation and 73% on company liability) that are not present in the provided source text. The source text only shows results from one specific July 2023 poll. While the 83% figure is confirmed, the other two figures cannot be verified from this source excerpt, making this a partial confirmation rather than full confirmation.

Found: From July 18-21, 2023 survey: 83% believe AI could accidentally cause a catastrophic event. The source does not provide the 77% or 73% figures mentioned in the claim.

Note: The source text confirms the 83% figure from a July 2023 AIPI poll. However, the source excerpt provided does not contain the other two statistics claimed (77% on government regulation and 73% on company liability). The claim references 'aggregate findings across multiple AIPI polls 2023-2024,' suggesting these other figures may exist in other AIPI polls not shown in this excerpt. Since one of three claimed figures is confirmed but the other two are not addressed in the provided source text, this is a partial confirmation. The source does not contradict the missing figures—it simply doesn't include them.
