A new poll from 6,000 people in nine countries, including the United States, India, Saudi Arabia, Japan and China, shows that people are more concerned about replacing physicians and judges with artificial intelligence, with little concern about replacing reporters.
The study, published by the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and in the journal American Psychology, examined people’s attitudes towards six jobs: doctors, judges, managers, religious leaders, and journalists. The researchers evaluated eight psychological properties such as intimacy, fairness, decision -making and imagination and found that the fear of artificial intelligence in some jobs is due to the mismatch between these human characteristics and the capabilities of artificial intelligence.
For example, in some countries, there are severe concerns about the use of artificial intelligence -based doctors and caregivers, as this technology lacks empathy and emotional understanding. Also, concerns about artificial intelligence judges are high due to lack of transparency and moral judgment. On the contrary, there is less concern about reporters because people still have a sense of control over how to get information.
The study also showed that people’s attitude towards artificial intelligence in different countries. The people of America, India and Saudi Arabia are most concerned about the impact of artificial intelligence on human jobs, while the Chinese, Japanese and Turkish people have the least fear. Other research has shown that Americans are more concerned about the negative consequences of artificial intelligence, while the people of East and Southeast Asia have a more positive view of it. These differences depend on the cultural, historical and state -owned factors related to artificial intelligence in each country.
