The Center for the Governance of AI (Future of Humanity Institute, University of Oxford) has recently published a report presenting the American public’s attitudes toward AI an AI Governance.

“As the study of the public opinion toward AI is relatively new, we aimed for breadth over depth, with our questions touching on: workplace automation; attitudes regarding international cooperation; the public’s trust in various actors to develop and regulate AI; views about the importance and likely impact of different AI governance challenges; and historical and cross-national trends in public opinion regarding AI. Our results provide preliminary insights into the character of U.S. public opinion regarding AI. However, our findings raise more questions than they answer; they are more suggestive than conclusive. Accordingly, we recommend caution in interpreting the results; we confine ourselves to primarily reporting the results. More work is needed to gain a deeper understanding of public opinion toward AI.” (Zhang and Dafoe, 2019)

This is really interesting material; thank you for making it available here.

Further work like this on the perception of and attitude toward AI, focused on Europe, deserves strong support.

In particular, section 1.1 Select results, the paragraph on "trust in various organizations to develop and manage AI for the best interests of the public", let show a remarkable level of uncertainty in the public. We must bear this in mind when working on the foundation of EU Trusted AI.
