"Artificial-intelligence tools are becoming more sophisticated and are now part of people's everyday lives. But even as AI entrepreneurs encourage their use, a survey by US broadcaster NBC News in March showed that the majority of people in the United States thought that the risks of AI outweigh the benefits. Just 26% of participants said that they have positive feelings about AI, compared with 46% who had negative views."
"AI tools are increasingly central to scientific work, driving research advances. However, they also make it easy to create poor-quality and entirely fabricated research, polluting the scientific canon. Researchers have also raised concerns about the impact that the reliance on AI has on human cognition, the threat AI tools present to jobs and the effects of the high energy demands of AI on the climate."
"Nature wants to hear what you think about AI. Do you hate it or love it? Do the benefits of AI in research outweigh the risks? Take our poll. Your answers will be anonymous, but you can choose to leave your contact details for a Nature reporter to follow up."
Artificial-intelligence tools are becoming more sophisticated and are used in everyday life. A March US survey by NBC News found most people believe AI risks outweigh benefits, with 26% expressing positive feelings and 46% expressing negative views. AI tools are also becoming central to scientific work and can drive research advances. At the same time, AI makes it easier to generate poor-quality and fabricated research, which can pollute the scientific record. Researchers also raise concerns about effects on human cognition, threats to jobs, and the climate impact from the high energy demands of AI. Nature invites readers to share views through an anonymous poll.
