In their own words, what do Americans say about artificial intelligence?
I think it can be a miraculous boon to the world, but that it needs some very strict economic and legal things in place before it is taken in a bad direction.

I believe Ai is helping with many aspects in our daily lives, but there is also that fear that what I'd Ai got to out of control. There is many very serious scary things that Ai could do to our world if unleashed. I do think in a controlled basis though ai can be helpful.

I like the speed of AI when dealing with something minor - a quick question and answer. Anything further in depth can be troubling. And Elon Musk has his filthy fingers in far too much of it for me to ever feel it's safe and unbiased.

The AI available now can write resumes, documents, and papers for a person instead of the person doing the work, for example. I am a recent graduate and didn't know about/use those tools, but I'm sure many people do use them in place of doing the work. But I like certain AI tools.

There is a lot of good that can come from AI. However, there are simply too many bad actors in the world who will harness it for harmful purposes.

While there are many legitimate ethical concerns regarding the use of AI and I agree that there needs to be heavy regulation, however, AI technology is simply too useful and efficient to stop further development. It's far too late to stop the development of AI technology at this point.
25 year old Male respondent Support further AI development?Agree

I prefer to do my research the way I want to do it. You might as well change Google's name to AI. Who monitors and establishes the ethics of AI? I do not believe that even AI can truthfully answer that.

AI can definitely be great for making repetitive tasks easier and quicker to do, allowing more time for people to complete other tasks. There are many things that it can be good for. However, I think we need a lot of regulations.

I believe further development of artificial intelligence can bring significant benefits in fields like healthcare, education, and environmental sustainability. AI has the potential to solve complex problems, improve efficiency, and enhance quality of life. However, it is important to ensure that its development is ethical and that safeguards are in place to prevent misuse.

Artificial intelligence presents a good side of making life easier. Human beings need to view Artificial Intelligence as a complimentary assitant to them, instead of a threat. This mindset has enabled me to effectively use AI and to not feel threatened by it.

I think it's dangerous to society.
62 year old Female respondent Support further AI development?Somewhat disagree
on 2024-05-30
I think that artificial intelligence can be extremely helpful in many areas of expertise. With refinement, many tasks can be shortened and processes streamlined. I only voted "somewhat agree," however, because I think that AI development should be handled with great care. Potential problems include doctored imagery and videos of public figures, as well as the current issue of mass-harvesting copyrighted and private materials to train language and image models.
33 year old Male respondent Support further AI development?Somewhat agree
on 2024-03-15
I think it's an important and useful tool for the future. But more development is needed especially in the safety/security aspect.
35 year old Male respondent Support further AI development?Agree

AI will make a lot of things easier in the world. Sure there is the danger of the AI being "too intelligent", but we are so far away from that point right now.
41 year old Male respondent Support further AI development?Agree

Until we get proper regulations, I feel like the further development of artificial intelligent is highly likely to hurt society.

I'm on the fence about this. I think this technology is helpful but could hurt humanity if we don't have control of it.

I think AI will help us to be more efficient and communicate more effectively.
35 year old Female respondent Support further AI development?Somewhat agree
on 2025-01-27
I support further development because Ai has some benefits to society. My only drawback is if it will replace jobs. Sometimes chatboxes save time from waiting on the phone to speak to a customer service rep, but other times AI chatboxes do not help, so you have to speak to a customer service rep. AI needs to be developed further.
48 year old Female respondent Support further AI development?Somewhat agree
on 2024-05-07
I'm still skeptical due to all of the evil works taking place behind closed doors and AI developers true intentions despite who validates it's purpose so as the saying goes "Only time will tell". So until then I will learn as much as I could in orders of education myself and other's.
46 year old Male respondent Support further AI development?Neither agree nor disagree
