## Reading

A plurality of Americans (39%) reject the idea that generative AI is a "neutral" tool, saying it comes loaded with assumptions no matter how it is used, according to a June 2025 Verasight survey.

A nearly equal share (35%) call it neutral and say everything depends on how it is used, while the remaining 26% are unsure.
