57% SEE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS THREAT TO HUMAN
RACE
Fifty-seven percent
(57%) of voters believe that Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is at least
somewhat of a threat to the human race. A ScottRasmussen.com national survey
found that 43% disagree and do not see it as a threat.
Those figures include 16% who
consider A.I. is a Very Serious threat while 10% say it is not a threat at all.
Concern about A.I. threatening
the human race has been a regular feature of science-fiction films, including
classics such as The Matrix. The number currently considering A.I. to be a
threat is up three points since November. Other recent studies show a significant increase in the number who believe A.I. and Robotics
will lead to mass unemployment. There has also been a growing concern about the impact of A.I. on education, health
care, and the economy.
Younger voters are a bit more
concerned about A.I. than voters over 50. Republicans are a bit more concerned
that Democrats and Independent voters (see crosstab results).
Other recent data shows that
28% of voters believe new technology companies should be required to get permission
from the government before offering their services to consumers.
