The world is optimistic about AI. Americans don’t share the feeling.

Many Americans are resistant to artificial intelligence (AI), concerned about job automation and its impact on society, contrasting with more optimistic views in countries like China and South Korea.
This disparity stems from differing messages about AI’s benefits and risks. In the U.S., there’s a notable emphasis on potential job losses, while other countries focus on AI’s economic growth implications.
Americans are among the least trusting regarding governmental AI regulation, reflecting general skepticism about AI’s advantages.
How governments and companies promote AI influences public perception; countries like Saudi Arabia and Japan promote AI as a solution to specific economic or social issues.
Despite global excitement over certain AI benefits such as healthcare advancements, Americans are particularly wary of AI’s negative impacts, including job displacement and potential societal issues.
