N2 - As the societal implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) continue to grow, the pursuit of responsible AI necessitates public engagement in its development and governance processes. This involvement is crucial for capturing diverse perspectives and promoting equitable practices and outcomes. We applied Cultural Consensus Theory (CCT) to a nationally representative survey dataset on various aspects of AI to discern beliefs and attitudes about responsible AI in the United States. Our results offer valuable insights by identifying shared and contrasting views on responsible AI, pinpointing the most controversial topics across different consensus groups, and even within similar cultural belief systems. Furthermore, these findings serve as critical reference points for developers and policymakers, enabling them to more effectively consider individual variances and group-level cultural perspectives when making significant decisions and addressing the public's concerns.
