Resolution Criteria:
This question resolves to the year in which the trailing four-month average reaches ≥5% of Americans giving answers classified as "advancement of computers/technology" to the question: What do you think is the most important problem facing the country today?
Resolution is based on the monthly updated Gallup website. On this website, "-" means 0% and "*" means <0.5%. For the purpose of this question, we will interpret "*" as 0.25%.
If a new category named "AI" or similar is added, we will either take the sum (if we determine there is no overlap in respondents) or the maximum (if we are unable to rule out overlap) between these categories.
Resolves N/A if the Gallup poll is discontinued or the category is removed without a suitable replacement.
