Growing concern over artificial intelligence's impact on jobs is reshaping how many Americans view the industry's economic gains, with a majority now backing the idea that the public should directly benefit from the wealth generated by leading AI companies, a new survey shows.
A national poll of 1,690 adults conducted in June found that 69% of Americans support requiring AI companies to transfer 50% of their stock into a public sovereign wealth fund, CNBC reported, citing research firm Verasight. The findings come as businesses continue investing heavily in artificial intelligence while workers face mounting concerns about layoffs and job security.
