A survey identifies trust and experience as key to understanding concerns about AI technology.
A large survey of American adults explored the complex landscape of attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI). It explored the degree of concern regarding specific potential outcomes of the new advances in AI technology and correlates of these concerns. Key variables associated with the direction and intensity of concern include prior experience using a large language model such as Chat GPT, general trust in science, adherence to the precautionary principle versus support for unrestricted innovation, and demographic factors such as gender. By identifying these relationships, the paper offers insights into the American public’s response to AI that can inform the development of policies aimed at either regulating or encouraging its advancement.
