What do people really think about AI?

From revolutionising business to transforming the way we use the internet, AI is a story that just keeps growing. Innovation in AI technology has accelerated at an unprecedented rate in recent years. But as the day-to-day use of AI becomes embedded in everyday life, is the public along for the journey – or are we at risk of being left behind?In this episode, we're joined by Eleanor O'Keeffe and Roshni Modhvadia from the Ada Lovelace Institute. We’ll explore research that can help us understand public attitudes to AI. What do people think about the rate of change? What are their hopes for future uses of AI, and what are they concerned about? We’ll also dig into what this means for data and research, as AI opens up new possibilities for generating insights. Find out more about the Ada Lovelace Institute: https://www.adalovelaceinstitute.org/ You can also read more about the projects mentioned in this episode, Making Good: https://www.adalovelaceinstitute.org/report/ai-public-good/ and Access Denied? https://www.adalovelaceinstitute.org/report/healthcare-access-denied/Want to know more about administrative data?
