Adults worldwide feel more positive on AI, poll finds

A recent Gallup poll reveals a generally positive sentiment towards artificial intelligence (AI) across 34 out of 37 countries surveyed. In 25 of these countries, the majority of adults who are aware of AI believe it will improve their daily lives and have a positive impact on their countries overall. This optimism is particularly strong in countries like China, where 93% of adults familiar with AI think it will help people, compared to 36% of US adults.

While wealthier Western countries tend to be more anxious about AI, the more people in these countries use the technology, the less it worries them.
