Public and Expert Predictions for AI's Next 20 Years (Pew Research Center)
Chapter 3 of Pew's April 2025 report comparing US adults with AI experts on what AI will do over the next two decades. 56% of the experts surveyed expect AI's impact on the US to be positive, against 17% of the public; 35% of adults expect a negative impact, against 15% of experts.

Experts and the public broadly agree on the risks to democracy and journalism: only 11% of experts and 9% of the public expect AI to help elections, while 61% of experts and 50% of the public expect harm. Gender splits are large among experts — 63% of male experts predict a positive impact versus 36% of female experts. Free to read, with methodology and appendix tables.
