A new report from Pew Research indicates that a small minority of Americans believe artificial intelligence (AI) will positively impact society.

A new report from Pew Research indicates a low level of optimism among everyday Americans regarding the societal impact of artificial intelligence (AI). The study found that only 16 percent of Americans believe AI will have a positive influence on society.
The research highlights a significant difference in perception, noting that general Americans are considerably less optimistic about the AI industry. This contrasts with observations that the financial sector, often referred to as Wall Street, holds a more favorable view of AI's potential.
According to Pew Research, these findings suggest a broader public skepticism or cautious outlook on the widespread implementation and future effects of artificial intelligence in daily life and societal structures.
