A Reuters\/Ipsos survey revealed that Americans are increasingly concerned about the possible threats presented by artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.<\/p>\n
The survey, which was conducted between May 9 and May 15, included the views of 4,415 U.S. adults and revealed that more than two-thirds of respondents were concerned about the negative effects of AI. 61% of those polled feel that AI has the potential to threaten civilization.<\/p>\n
According to the study, the proportion of Americans who expect negative results from AI is three times larger than those who are indifferent. 61% of participants acknowledged the possible concerns connected with AI, while 22% disagreed, leaving 17% undecided.<\/p>\n
The poll discovered differences in sentiments depending on political and religious convictions. Notably, 70% of Trump supporters in the 2020 election expressed concern about AI’s possible harm to humanity, compared to 60% of Joe Biden supporters. Furthermore, when it came to theological viewpoints, Evangelical Christians were more likely than non-Evangelical Christians to “strongly agree” with the idea of AI bringing hazards to mankind, with 32% expressing this opinion compared to 24% of non-Evangelical Christians.<\/p>\n
The credibility interval of the poll, which measures accuracy, is plus or minus 2 percentage points.<\/p>\n
