The rapid development of artificial intelligence should be accompanied by measurement of public sentiment at high temporal resolution. Accordingly, here I present analysis of daily repeated surveys beginning April 18, 2024 (total N=4067). The results indicate that in the population of American adults, support for further development of artificial intelligence was modestly positive and increased a statistically reliable amount over the past year. Female and low-trust respondents reported less support, however, both also displayed growing support over time. Republicans increased support at a faster rate than Democrats, pointing to potential polarization. These findings underscore the need for continuous, high-frequency surveys to accurately track shifts in public opinion on transformative technologies like AI.
