"AI experts" are much more optimistic about AI than the general public, according to the latest report from Stanford University's Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence group, which states that 73% of experts believe AI will be beneficial for jobs, while only 23% of US adults in general agree.
Before we conclude that the people who are the most knowledgeable about AI are the most optimistic, it bears mentioning that the survey referenced by the report was done back in 2024 by Pew Research, and defined "AI experts" as people "whose work or research relates to AI" and who were "authors or presenters at an AI-related conference in 2023 or 2024 and live in the US."
