AI SURVEY

🛡️ DO YOU THINK PRESENT AIs HAS FEELINGS?

Well, I don`t because I write ‘Projects of AI’ daily and knows what exactly is happening in the world of AI. 😄 

However, Americans think different.

Recent survey revealed two widespread misconceptions among the US people about the present state of Artificial Intelligence.

What people thinks about AI? (Misconceptions) 

  • 20% people in US has a belief that artificial intelligence models are already self-aware.

  • 30% think artificial general intelligence (AGI) models can perform any task a human can.

Survey Details:

  • 3500 representative sample size.

  • Carried out in three phases between 2021 and 2023.

  • More people started thinking about AI got feelings as survey percentage increased from 18% in 2021 to 20% in 2023.

What Needs to be done?

The need for clearer communication about AI`s true nature and limitations is rising to prevent potential overreliance and misinterpretation of AI`s capabilities.
