Almost Three Quarters of Americans Distrust Artificial Intelligence

Shocker: people aren't quite sure that they trust artificial intelligence to operate in their best interests, per a new poll. In a press release, the think tank MITRE released the results of a new poll, conducted in tandem with the marketing research firm Harris, that asked people their opinions about AI. Spoiler alert: they lowkey hate it! "Most Americans express reservations about AI for high-value applications such as autonomous vehicles, accessing government benefits, or healthcare," the press release reads. "Moreover, only 48 percent believe AI is safe and secure, and 78 percent are very or somewhat concerned that AI can be used for malicious intent."
