A recent Pew Research Center report highlights stark differences in perceptions of AI between U.S. adults and experts. While experts are largely optimistic about AI's benefits, with 56% believing in its positive long-term impact, only 17% of the public agrees. Both groups express concerns about job security, with 73% of experts favoring AI's potential in the workforce versus just 23% of Americans. Additionally, there is a mutual demand for more oversight and control on AI usage, indicating shared concerns over bias and misinformation in technology's development.
"It's mainly straight White men or men of color who are really investing and excited about these technologies," said one Black expert.
"When people start to get replaced by technology, it's always going to affect those underrepresented groups first."
Roughly 55% of U.S. adults and 57% of experts support tighter control, indicating a shared desire for more responsible AI development among differing perspectives.
While 56% of experts believe AI will positively affect the U.S. over the next 20 years, only 17% of Americans share that view.
