AI Experts Upbeat, Public Anxious: Trust Gap Revealed in New Study
Summary
A new study reveals a striking trust gap between AI experts, who are upbeat about the technology's potential, and a wary public anxious about AI's impacts and concerned over its responsible regulation by governments and companies.
Key Points
- A study shows a sharp divide in how AI experts and the public perceive AI - experts are optimistic, while the public is anxious and distrustful.
- Most Americans feel they have little control over whether AI is used in their lives, and they don't trust the government or companies to regulate it responsibly.
- While Gen Z is highly engaged with AI tools, they are wary of its effects and don't fully trust AI, especially for critical thinking tasks - clear AI policies from schools and workplaces can help increase trust.
