Perception Of AI Influences Attitudes Toward Democracy

LMU München

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing our economies and workplaces. A new study shows that the majority of people believe that artificial intelligence is displacing more human labor than it is creating new opportunities. The authors from LMU and the University of Vienna demonstrated a causal link: the stronger this perception, the more dissatisfied people are with democracy - and the less they participate in political debates about future technological developments. These effects occur even though artificial intelligence has had only a limited impact on the jobs market so far. The study was recently published in the renowned journal PNAS.
