Who Decides AI Public Opinion Poll
Who Decides commissioned polling of 1,502 registered US voters to show that both Democrats and Republicans want the public, rather than Silicon Valley billionaires, to shape AI’s future. The findings created a timely news hook for launching Alex Bores’s new AI policy organisation.
Why it worked: Exclusive bipartisan polling reframed AI policy as a populist vs. billionaire power struggle, giving reporters fresh conflict plus launch-timed data.
The lesson: Consider fielding a neutral, statistically solid poll that exposes a counterintuitive consensus, then offer it as an exclusive to one outlet.
