CNBC Generation Labs surveyed more than 1,000 US adults aged 18 to 34 about their views on artificial intelligence and its leadership, with results reported by Futurism. The survey found that most respondents do not trust any of nine public figures to act responsibly on AI. It also found that 45 percent of respondents said AI will have a negative effect on their careers.

The article, titled 'Young People Hate AI CEOs So Passionately That It's Almost Hard to Believe,' reports that most respondents did not trust any of the nine figures included in the survey. The excerpt does not identify the nine figures by name or affiliation. The 45 percent figure on negative career effects represents a substantial minority within the age group surveyed.

The article arrives amid ongoing public debate over AI regulation, corporate accountability, and the technology's effect on employment.
