Americans are gradually becoming aware of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, but their understanding of its functions varies depending on factors such as age and job position. This is evidenced by the findings of Krista Software’s 2023 AI Trust survey looking into the public’s knowledge, sentiments, and trust of AI.
The survey discovered that 58 percent of respondents acknowledged AI’s existence, with Gen Z (61 percent) and Millennials (56 percent) feeling more confident in their understanding compared to only 24 percent of older generations. Additionally, 54 percent of Americans believe AI will affect their jobs, with management professionals believing it can have a positive outcome, although rank-and-file workers remain less optimistic.
When asked about their feelings of AI, the majority (36 percent) described their overall attitude towards AI as ‘neutral.’ 32 percent stabilized a ‘slightly positive’ stance towards AI, giving a hint that people are open to AI technologies for specific tasks.
John Michelsen, CEO and co-founder of Krista Software, noted the importance of increased public awareness and transparency in that how AI functions in order to build more trust among the people affected by its adoption. Business leaders have a responsibility to ensure the successful integration of AI on both a personal and professional level.
