Notable commencement speakers have been met with boos while discussing AI&#8217;s benefits and the next industrial revolution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Data collected by Gallup and the Walton Family Foundation shows significant shifts in Gen Z&#8217;s sentiments towards AI, revealing a growing trepidation among this demographic. <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The poll indicates a steady 42% of Gen Z who feel anxious about AI, while excitement dropped by 14% to 22%.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The reported amount of hopeful respondents declined by 9%, while the proportion of those feeling angry towards AI increased by 9% to 31%.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Psychologist Dr. Julie Lee suggests that Gen Z&#8217;s anxiety stems from not only the fast adoption pace of AI but a perceived lack of empathy from educators and parents about its significant impact on their lives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Diverse opinions on AI were seen among MIT students, with some hopeful about AI&#8217;s benefits in areas like drug discovery and research, and others expressing anxiety or anger, particularly regarding the profit-driven application and lack of oversight of AI technologies.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why are more young people angry about AI?
