We're completely out of touch with what the public thinks about AI | Dr Yam, Pew Research Center

Eileen Yam, the Director of Science and Society Research at the Pew Research Center, examines the stark contrast between AI experts and public opinion on AI's impact. While 74% of experts believe AI will boost productivity, only 17% of the public agrees. Concerns about job loss, erosion of creativity, and misinformation dominate public sentiment. Interestingly, many support AI in law enforcement but express distrust towards industry self-regulation. Eileen highlights a significant demand for regulation, reflecting a public appetite for control over emerging technologies.
