How the US Public Feels About the Developments of Artificial Intelligence

Baobao Zhang, assistant professor of political science in the Maxwell School, was interviewed for the Wired article “Ex-Googler Timnit Gebru Starts Her Own AI Research Center.”

Professor Zhang conducted a survey to gauge how AI researchers and the US public feel about the developments of AI in terms of the interest of the public. Zhang said, ‘US public still seems to broadly trust tech companies to guide development of AI.’ His survey results showed that the public is most trusting of the US Military and university researchers.
