About 60% of Americans never or rarely get news from AI sources. A survey of 1,000 people by YouGov revealed that only 7.1% trust AI for news more than traditional media. Most Americans still prefer conventional news outlets, indicating that AI hasn't significantly changed news consumption habits. Despite AI's popularity in other areas, like email and online queries, it struggles to establish credibility in journalism. Among those who do use AI for news, only 32.1% click through to original sources. AI chatbots often provide news snippets, but this has contributed to a noticeable drop in traffic for news publishers, with a reported 39% decline in Google referral traffic. Users are increasingly turning to social media for news, further complicating the landscape for traditional news sites. A significant issue is AI's tendency to "hallucinate," or produce false information. Around 71.7% of AI news users have encountered inaccuracies in the information presented. This undermines trust, as 40% of respondents have indicated they trust AI much less than traditional news. News publishers are experimenting with AI, but so far, these efforts haven’t fundamentally altered consumer behavior or established the necessary credibility for AI as a news source.
