A global study by KPMG and the University of Melbourne reveals divided opinions on artificial intelligence (AI). While 72% of over 48,000 respondents across 47 countries view AI as a useful tool, trust in its accuracy is low, with half expressing skepticism. The study highlights concerns about safety, misuse, and the need for regulation. Notably, only 39% of people have received any AI training. Those trained exhibit higher trust and see greater benefits. The demand for comprehensive regulations is also significant, with 70% supporting oversight to mitigate misinformation risks.
Despite widespread acceptance of AI as a useful tool (72%), a global study indicates that trust in AI's accuracy remains low, with half of respondents expressing concerns.
Responses from a KPMG and University of Melbourne study show that trust in AI is notably lower in advanced economies, reflecting a broader apprehension about AI's societal impact.
The study also indicates a strong desire for AI regulation, with 70% of respondents supporting oversight and 88% believing that laws are essential to address AI-driven misinformation.
