Californians Say AI Is Moving 'Too Fast'

The new data shows that 70% of Californians believe in the need for "strong laws to make AI fair." But the data also reveals high levels of skepticism that those laws will ever be enacted.

A picture emerges -- The poll adds to a growing collection of data from around the world suggesting that ordinary people are worried about the impact of AI on their lives. In January, I wrote about a U.K. poll that showed 60% of Brits favoring a ban on the development of "smarter-than-human" AI models.
