Anti-AI sentiment continues to rise across the United States, with 70% of American adults believing that AI will take away human jobs
At present, anti-AI sentiment continues to rise across the United States. Large-scale layoffs, disorderly expansion of data centers, people with psychological problems using chat software to carry out attacks, and the proliferation of hacking tools have panicked network security practitioners. The superposition of multiple factors has made a large number of Americans feel disgusted with artificial intelligence. A recent Quinnipiac University poll showed that 70% of American adults believe that AI will take away human jobs, and 55% of the public believe that artificial intelligence will do more harm than good to daily life. But the deepest fear among front-line protesters is more extreme: that artificial intelligence could lead to the complete extinction of the human race. They believe in a number of pessimistic predictions, including the warnings of Jeffrey Hinton, the "godfather" of the AI industry. The scholar who won the Nobel Prize for his research on artificial neural networks proposed that the probability of human extinction caused by artificial intelligence is between 10% and 20%.
