Not everyone is hyped about artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) may be the hottest topic in the UK nowadays, but not everyone is certain about its business application, ROI and the impact on society. Following a poll, it was revealed that a third (32 per cent) of respondents worry robots will replace humans, and almost a fifth (19 per cent) fear their job will be taken over by artificial intelligence more than they did a year ago. A fifth (21 per cent) does not think AI is applicable at this point in time, and another 18 per cent said it was too expensive, currently. More than a quarter (28 per cent) believe AI will prove highly beneficial, and more than a third (35 per cent) are not afraid they will lose their jobs to AI.
