# US Consumers 'More Wary Than Willing' to Engage With AI in Entertainment, Luminate Finds

_Research · published 2026-07-28_

A new report from Luminate Intelligence, titled "AI & Media: Audience Attitudes," finds that US consumers are broadly hesitant about AI-generated or AI-assisted content in entertainment. The study characterizes the public mood as "more wary than willing," suggesting that audience skepticism remains a significant headwind for media companies and studios moving to adopt generative AI in their content pipelines.

The findings carry weight for both the film and post-production industries and for investors tracking consumer adoption curves. Widespread audience wariness could slow the commercial rollout of AI-generated media and add pressure on studios to disclose or limit AI involvement in productions aimed at mainstream audiences.
