The University of Iowa’s Center for Social Science Innovation (CSSI) in the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) awarded two University of Iowa researchers the Surveying the Social World (SSW) opportunity, a competitive program that provides UI researchers with funding and support to collect high-quality, nationally representative survey data from 1,000 U.S. adults.

CSSI researcher affiliates Ken Brown and Brian An recently purchased 10 questions through CSSI's SurveyHarvest initiative. Results from the survey of 1,000 U.S. adults yielded surprising results as to how people are using artificial intelligence tools in their personal and professional lives, prompting a drive to dive deeper. Read about the findings from Iowa Capital Dispatch.
