Poll Shows Americans’ Optimism Toward AI And And Facial Recognition — But Brain Implants, Not So Much

Americans are open to the idea of incorporating new technological advances in artificial intelligence and human enhancement technologies into their day-to-day lives, a poll released Thursday by Pew Research Center found, but respondents were still uncertain about the societal implications of some possibilities, like chips implanted in the brain and driverless vehicles....

Respondents were more comfortable with some developments than others—while they generally approved the use of facial recognition tech by authorities to catch criminal suspects and social media companies using algorithms to detect false information, they were less supportive of driverless passenger vehicles, brain microchips and editing the genes of human embryos.

The majority of respondents, 46%, said they thought it would be good for society if police adopted the widespread use of facial recognition technology to monitor crowds and identify people who may have committed a crime, with 27% saying it would be a bad idea and another 27% unsure. Americans also favored the idea of social media platforms using algorithms to find false information, with 38% of respondents calling it a good idea, while 31% said it was a bad idea.—which the survey defined as a wearable suit with an integrated AI computer system that uses sensor data to help guide and maximize the physical strength of wearers doing manual labor—by a similar margin, with 33% in support and 24% against.

Putin could use a brain transplant!

I sense BS. Where was that poll taken? Bc everyone I know, including myself, don't like facial recognition at all. The continued infringement on our privacy and crossing the line is ridiculous!
