Artificial intelligence experts feel satisfied with the future of their field. Most Americans are not.
A new report from the Pew Research Center Issued last week A sharp gap appears in how artificial intelligence is perceived by the people who build it in exchange for the people who live with it. The poll, which includes responses from more than 1,000 artificial intelligence experts and more than 5,000 American adults, reveals an increasing optimistic gap: experts hope, while the audience is concerned, distracted, and increasingly unstable.
Nearly three quarters of artificial intelligence experts believe that technology will benefit them personally. Only a quarter of the audience says the same. Experts believe that artificial intelligence will make jobs better; The audience believes that it will take them away. Even the basic confidence in the system is broken: More than half of the two groups say they want more control over how artificial intelligence is used in their lives, and the majority says they do not trust the government or private companies to organize them responsibly.
This is logical when it looks at how difficult the US government has failed to regulate basic technology. Congress loves to transfer senior technology executives in theatrical listening sessions, where legislators flow through questions about Section 230 This seems to be written by someone who just discovered the Internet yesterday.
Few Americans believe they have any agency in the future that artificial intelligence moves.
“It seems that when you look at this … hearings in Congress, they do not understand this at all. I don’t know that I have faith that they will be able to bring enough experts to understand them enough to organize it, but I think it is very important,” said an academic expert in the report.
There are doubts about the public about organizing the government of artificial intelligence, as well as the ambitious allegations of technology leaders about the future capabilities of Amnesty International. The CEO of Openai Sam Altman said Expected We may see the “first agents of artificial intelligence” to join the workforce “and change companies’ output” in 2025. This appears to appear in the data as well: a few Americans believe that they have any agency in the future that artificial intelligence moves. Nearly 60 percent of adults say they have slim or non -existent control whether artificial intelligence is used in their lives. This number is not much better among experts.
There are also gender splits. Male intelligence experts are much more likely than women to say they feel optimistic and personally excited about artificial intelligence. And when it comes to acting, both experts and the public agree that artificial intelligence design reflects the views of white men much more than women and black societies or of Spanish origin. The problem of diversity is not only related to those who build models – it is bread on how people try technology.
While the older generations discuss the potential of artificial intelligence, Gen Z actually lives with it. A separate study released this week by Gallup and The Walton Family Foundation found that Gen Z is largely involved with artificial intelligence tools such as Chatgpt or Copilot – 79 percent of its report, and half of nearly a week. But this does not mean that they trust him. In fact, Gen Z is likely to say of artificial intelligence that makes them feel anxious (41 percent) of excitement (36 percent). Only 27 percent say it makes them feel hope.

Gen Z realizes that artificial intelligence will form their functions in the future and learning, but they are cautious about its effects. Nearly half of them believe that artificial intelligence will harm their “ability to think critically.” Although most of them believe that artificial intelligence can help them work and learn more efficiently, a third of the workers in Gen Z trust the work that was accomplished with AI or through human product.
Schools and workplaces do not help much either. Most GEN Z students say their schools lack a clear AI policies, and that more than half of Gen Z’s workers report the same about their employers. But the research indicates that when institutions have clear rules of artificial intelligence, young people are likely to use tools, trust them, and feel prepared for the future.
Artificial intelligence may advance quickly, but confidence is behind the knees. Systems are more intelligent, but people are skeptical – especially those who will have to live with them the longest.
“They did not reach a point where they felt that the benefits outweigh the risks,” Hyrenovsky said.
