Do Americans think artificial intelligence could someday destroy humanity?

Por POLITICO — POLITICO

A majority of Americans think artificial intelligence could someday destroy humanity.

The stunning new finding from The POLITICO Poll underscores the depth of people’s anxieties about the rapidly developing technology — and how quickly public sentiment around AI has hardened. Just a few months ago, AI was a nebulous concept for many Americans. Now, lawmakers in both parties are racing to understand how to control its growth.

Overall, about two out of three Americans say there is at least a “moderate” risk that advanced AI could destroy humanity, with majorities across parties, genders and age groups holding that view.

NOTE: Those who said “Don’t know” are not shown. The POLITICO Poll was conducted by Public First from September 13 to 15, surveying 2,064 U.S. adults online. The overall margin of error is ±2 percentage points.
