Most Americans are pretty terrified of artificial intelligence, according to a survey just released by Reuters and Ipsos.
A whopping 61% of respondents thought A.I. could threaten humanity itself, with just 22% coming out against that proposition. Interestingly for those trying to predict the political response to A.I.’s sudden ascent—more on that later—the survey found Trump voters were notably (70% vs. 60%) more likely than Biden voters to perceive an A.I. threat to our species, and Evangelical Christians were markedly more likely than non-Evangelical Christians to “strongly agree” with that threat’s existence (32% vs. 24%).
