What do Americans think about artificial intelligence?

We recently polled over 1,000 Americans to determine how they view AI and whether they believe embracing it will ultimately help or hinder them in their careers and in their personal lives.

Here’s what we found:

The majority of Americans have a positive outlook when it comes to the growing presence of artificial intelligence (AI) in their lives. Most Americans believe AI is here to stay and that learning how to integrate it into the workplace will not only help them get ahead in their jobs but may be a necessity to succeed.

In fact, three out of four Americans indicated that those who fail to embrace AI in the workplace will be left behind in their jobs.

Not surprisingly, Millennials are most likely to embrace AI to get ahead in their careers, while older Americans are less inclined to embrace it.

Americans are also enthusiastic about other applications of AI in their lives, and most interestingly in how it will improve medical care. 40 percent of those polled say AI will help improve patient care and make medical diagnoses more accurate, making this the most important benefit of AI, followed by:

Less than one in five Americans (19 percent) believes in the “doomsday” scenarios that AI will put people out of work and take over their jobs in the workplace. The largest group of Americans surveyed found such scenarios “unbelievable,” but 30 percent did admit that they don’t know and don’t believe anyone does.
