Researchers say artificial intelligence is becoming another source of political division ahead of the November midterm elections.

NPR's Windsor Johnston reports on a new study that reveals a pattern among voters outside the country's two major parties.

The study, conducted by Northeastern University, surveyed more than 38,000 voters in all 50 states.

Researcher David Lazar says Republicans have become more trusting of AI companies, while Democrats have grown more skeptical.

Lazar says AI could also become an issue in closely contested races, especially when voters connect new data centers to concerns about rising electricity and water bills.
