Poll: Emerging economies trust artificial intelligence more than developed economies

ChainCatcher news, a major survey conducted by the University of Melbourne and professional services firm KPMG found that people in emerging economies are more willing to trust artificial intelligence than those in developed economies, and they are also more optimistic and excited about the benefits it brings.

This global study shows that two-thirds of respondents now frequently use artificial intelligence, with even more (83%) believing it will bring widespread benefits. However, 58% of respondents feel that the technology is not trustworthy, which is an increase from the levels found in a study conducted before the emergence of ChatGPT in 2022.

The survey also found that three-fifths of people in emerging economies trust artificial intelligence, while only two-fifths of people in developed countries do. Gillespie, the head of the study, believes that the higher acceptance and trust in artificial intelligence in emerging economies is due to the greater relative benefits and opportunities this technology provides for people in these countries, as well as its increasingly important role in economic development.
