This dataset is part of the Human Clarity Institute’s <b>AI–Human Experience 2025</b> data series. It examines how people experience digital life in AI-saturated environments, including attention, trust, values alignment, digital fatigue, and perceived wellbeing across everyday online contexts.The dataset includes:<br>• measures of trust in online information environments, values alignment, and perceived clarity<br>• behavioural indicators of screen time, digital fatigue, confidence, and post-use energy<br>• multi-select variables stored as canonical semicolon-delimited snake_case tokens<br>• open-text reflections with minimal safe cleaning (trim + newline removal only)<br>• demographic variables across six English-speaking countries<br><br>Data were collected in September 2025 via Prolific from adults in the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Ireland.<br>All data were cleaned, anonymised, and processed under the Human Clarity Institute’s machine-readable dataset protocol, which includes:• canonical snake_case variable naming<br>• validated numeric ranges<br>• standardised multi-select formats<br>• minimal safe text cleaning<br>• full alignment with the accompanying data dictionary<br>• removal of Prolific IDs and timestamps<br>• SHA-256 checksums for all filesThis dataset contributes to understanding how humans navigate attention, trust, and values in increasingly AI-mediated digital environments, supporting longitudinal tracking of behavioural change and the evolving cognitive relationship between humans and AI in everyday life.
