Irish uneasy about advance of artificial intelligence, survey shows
In an era where technology is bringing us closer to driverless cars and robot servants, the majority of Irish people still feel a little uncomfortable at the prospect of a brave new world. New research has found that, while Irish consumers are broadly positive about the improvements innovation brings to life, there are limits. Most feel ill-prepared to give their lives over to a society run by robots, artificial intelligence and algorithms. A report published by Fujitsu, one of the world's largest ICT companies, found that while 42 per cent of people believe technology to be society's main driver of change, fewer than a third are "fully prepared" to meet it. With innovation sweeping virtually every sector, a cultural shift may be required.
