A recent survey reveals that nearly two-thirds of young Americans have considered moving abroad due to societal stress, political division, and rising anxiety about AI and misinformation, with widespread feelings of loneliness and unmet emotional support needs across all age groups, highlighting a nation grappling with identity, connection, and future uncertainty.
A CNBC All-America Economic survey reveals that a large majority of Americans have strong reservations about the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI). Only 27% of respondents are comfortable with the development of computer programs that mimic human thinking and potentially replace human activity. This represents a 10-point increase in discomfort since the last survey in 2016. The survey also found that majorities in all demographic groups are now uncomfortable with AI, including professionals/managers and the 18-34 age group. Americans express discomfort with AI in areas such as customer service, medical diagnosis, and self-driving cars. However, there is no widespread concern about job loss to robots, with 21% believing AI would make their job easier and 18% thinking it could replace them. The survey raises questions about the potential for industry regulation and the need for more education about the benefits of AI.
