Pew Survey Finds 35% of U.S. Adults Own an AI Smart Speaker, Doorbells Trail at 18%
Summary
Pew Research Center reports 35% of U.S. adults have a smart speaker that uses AI, the most common of four smart home devices it asked about. Smart doorbells are at 18%, robot vacuums at 13% and smart thermostats at 11%. The survey of U.S. adults ran Feb. 17-23, 2026.
Key Points
- Pew publishes the findings on June 17, 2026, from its report titled "Americans and AI 2026: Chatbots, Smart Devices and Views on Impact."
- Pew first asks respondents whether they own thermostats, doorbells and vacuums, then asks whether any of those devices have AI features.
- Pew notes that respondents who did not answer are not shown in the chart, and full question wording appears in the topline.
