SOME OF US ARE OPTIMISTIC
ABOUT AI, WHILE MANY JUST
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO THINK
It’s a similar picture when it comes to broad perceptions around AI, which are similarity
divided. Just under half (49%) believe that AI could make the world a better place if
used correctly, while 38% believe we need Artificial Intelligence to take us to the next
level of progress. Interestingly, the division here isn’t so much between those who agree and
disagree, but between those that have an opinion and those who just don’t know what to think
(see chart below).
