ARM Holding decided to finance a sociological survey on the attitude of residents of different countries to the prospect of widespread distribution of robots and artificial intelligence technologies. The total number of respondents reached 4,000 people, and the geography extended from the United States and Great Britain to China, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. As it turned out, 30% of respondents consider job cuts to be the most important danger of the "robotic revolution", calling the
sphere of logistics and transport services the most vulnerable to technical progress. In addition, survey participants believe that robots will quickly displace bank employees and conveyor workers, but farmers, cooks and firefighters may not be afraid of such a substitution.
61% of respondents believe that the distribution of robots will have a positive impact on society. Another 17% are convinced that nothing will change, and only 22% are pessimistic. 37% believe that medicine and science will benefit from the introduction of artificial intelligence, 29% see robots as executors of the most difficult and dangerous work for a person. Almost a fifth of respondents believe that robots will reduce the cost of goods and services. 11% of the interviewed people
are convinced of the reduction in the frequency of mistakes and accidents caused by a person. Only five percent of people believe that with the spread of robots they will have more free time.
Now you can talk about pessimists. A fifth of respondents are concerned about the need to trust human lives for robots. About the same number of people are concerned about the possibility of stealing sensitive information. Twelve percent of respondents believe that people will feel less in demand, they will have nothing to do. Eleven percent of respondents are afraid that cars will become too independent in decision-making, and nine percent believe that people will be more willing to
build social relationships with robots, rather than with their own kind.
Almost half of the survey participants are ready to trust the "artificial doctor", and 55% of people trust "robocar" now. In ten years 70% of respondents would not object to a trip in an automatic vehicle. Perhaps, the problem of distrust between people and robots is somewhat exaggerated, judging from the results of this poll. Related Products :
