That number is up three percentage points from October 2025, when 61% of respondents had a negative view of AI\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, however, New Hampshire residents are increasingly using AI in their work and day-to-day lives. According to the poll, 59% of workers use some form of AI at work. That\u2019s up from 44% in October.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Hampshire residents see AI as a threat in many spheres<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surveyors asked the 1,198 New Hampshire residents who participated in the poll whether AI would have a positive or negative effect on 10 categories of life in New Hampshire over the next 10 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A majority agreed that artificial intelligence would have a net positive effect on only one of those categories: medical care, for which 53% of respondents said AI would have a somewhat or very positive effect over the next decade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That statistic is, however, down from October, when 57% of respondents answered optimistically.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only other category in which AI optimism outweighs pessimism in the May survey is productivity at work. Thirty-nine percent of respondents said productivity would be affected positively over the next decade, compared to 35% of respondents who said it would be negatively impacted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the eight other categories included in the survey, pessimism outweighs optimism. Those categories include education, the economy, arts and entertainment, news, the environment, personal relationships, utility costs, and elections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Granite Staters are most concerned about the effect of artificial intelligence on elections, according to the survey&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vnews.com\/2026\/06\/07\/granite-state-ai-concerns\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NH residents use AI more, but fear job loss https:\/\/vnews.com\/2026\/06\/07\/granite-state-ai-concerns\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-07 14:28:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":266815,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/20260605-vn-nhaipoll-001.jpg?fit=2400%2C1070&ssl=1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-266814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266814"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266814"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266814\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":266816,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266814\/revisions\/266816"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
