Another 12% say they rely on AI \u201csome\u201d for news, and 23% say \u201conly a little.\u201d The majority of U.S. adults (57%) don\u2019t rely on AI tools at all for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt\">Reliance on AI tools to get news and information is slightly more common among adults aged 18 to 49 (10%) than among those aged 50 and older (3%), but majorities of both age groups say they don\u2019t rely on AI at all when getting news.<\/p>\n<p>###Embeddable###<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt\">These results are based on a May 4-17 survey of 2,062 U.S. adults who are members of the Gallup Panel.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:0in\">AI Ranks Last as a Source of Information About News Events<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt\">A separate question places AI at the bottom of the list of people\u2019s primary sources of information about community, national and international events.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt\">Just 2% of Americans say AI chatbots or assistants are one of their top three news or information sources, matching the percentage who report using a messaging app for news (2%). All key subgroups of U.S. adults report very low rates of AI as a primary news source.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt\">AI is less likely to be selected as a news source than print newspapers or magazines (8%), podcasts (13%), search engines (16%), and radio (17%).<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:12.0pt\">The most common way Americans say they have gotten their news in the past seven days is from social media (54%), followed by news websites or apps (44%). However, large segments still rely on traditional outlets: 28% mostly use network TV news,&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/711242\/news-rare.aspx\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use of AI to Get News in U.S. Is Rare https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/711242\/news-rare.aspx Publish Date: 2026-06-24 00:00:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":280059,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/imagekit.gallup.com\/fusion\/tr:n-emd_soc_meta_og\/POLL\/563f1a31-2b0a-4aa5-be08-13624cbc0dee.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-280057","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\/280057"}],"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=280057"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280057\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":280061,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280057\/revisions\/280061"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
