 What the numbers say: Artificial intelligence remains controversial in the U.S., but survey results from KPMG and the University of Queensland show a stark difference between attitudes in the U.S. and China, as well as India. Emerging markets in general appear much more comfortable with the technology, with Japan and France among the most skeptical. Relevance: An open letter from Elon Musk and a group of AI researchers called on U.S.-based OpenAI and others to pause large-scale AI systems development, citing worries that these projects pose "profound risks to society and humanity." Brands that should care: OpenAI, Microsoft, and Alphabet already know that their products face concerns from consumers and lawmakers. These survey results show contrasting environments for their counterparts in India, China, and Brazil. |
