## Resource

Just yesterday, April 9, 2026, Epoch AI published fresh data from a nationally representative survey of 2,021 U.S. adults.

It’s a probability-based, weighted snapshot showing AI has crossed the threshold from casual experiment to workplace staple. The Next 5000 Days Are Yours to Shape The Epoch AI data is not a warning.
