Public trust in AI varies greatly depending on the application, according to researchers. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in society prompted University of Tokyo researchers to investigate public attitudes toward AI ethics. Their findings quantify how different demographics and ethical scenarios influence these attitudes. The team developed an octagonal visual metric, similar to a rating system, as part of this research, which could be useful to AI researchers who want to know how their work is perceived by the general public. Many people believe that technology's rapid advancement outpaces that of the social structures that implicitly guide and regulate it, such as law and ethics.

Artificial intelligence will play a significant role in your Christmas online shopping adventures. That's because AI is being used by 81 percent of online merchants to improve sales ahead of the holiday season. These companies, according to VentureBeat, have expanded their artificial intelligence spending to do precisely that. The companies in question are categorised as small to medium-sized businesses that may not be able to compete with online shopping behemoths like Amazon. Businesses are using artificial intelligence to help manage their supply chains (which are already overburdened owing to the pandemic), guard against ecommerce fraud, and even enhance overall sales.
