... 29.2% of our interviewees consider that the development of artificial intelligence will aggravate military conflicts. The risk of losing personal information and the fact that AI devices and entities will have a negative impact on inter-human relationships are other two scenarios that more than half of the participants see as likely in the future (Table 6). The number of respondents who do not believe that in the future inter-human relationships will be impacted negatively by AI devices/entities is relatively small (very unlikely -7.9%, and unlikely -15.7%), which is a somewhat similar situation with the answer variants for those who do not believe that there is a risk of losing personal information (very unlikely -7.9%, and unlikely -17.5%). ...Context 2

... Another finding in their study was that people think that it is good that AI is not influenced by emotions, hence more trustful. This was also found by Cismariu and Gherhes (2019) and Liu and Tao (2022). Finally, Brauner et al. (2023) argued that education about AI is necessary for the general public to enable people to evaluate the benefits and barriers of AI. ...
Since the end of 2022, global discussions on Artificial Intelligence (AI) have surged, influencing diverse societal groups, such as teachers, students and policymakers. This case study focuses on Swedish primary school students aged 11–12. The aim is to examine their cognitive and affective perceptions of AI and their current usage. Data, comprising a pre-test, focus group interviews, and post-lesson evaluation reports, were analysed using a fusion of Mitcham’s philosophical framework of technology with a behavioural component, and the four basic pillars of AI literacy. Results revealed students’ cognitive perceptions encompassing AI as both a machine and a concept with or without human attributes. Affective perceptions were mixed, with students expressing positive views on AI’s support in studies and practical tasks, alongside concerns about rapid development, job loss, privacy invasion, and potential harm. Regarding AI usage, students initially explored various AI tools, emphasising the need for regulations to slow down and contemplate consequences. This study provides insights into primary school students perceptions and use of AI, serving as a foundation for further exploration of AI literacy in education contexts and considerations for policy makers to take into account, listening to children’s voices.
... However, because of the trust placed in an IT expert, a doctor or any other expert, people generally do not question the integrity of these experts. AI is a similar matter, as people do not usually attribute emotionality to it, but rather objectivity, so they tend to trust its accuracy and disregard its potential for error (Cismariu and Gherhes, 2019;Liu and Tao, 2022). ...
Introduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become ubiquitous in medicine, business, manufacturing and transportation, and is entering our personal lives. Public perceptions of AI are often shaped either by admiration for its benefits and possibilities, or by uncertainties, potential threats and fears about this opaque and perceived as mysterious technology. Understanding the public perception of AI, as well as its requirements and attributions, is essential for responsible research and innovation and enables aligning the development and governance of future AI systems with individual and societal needs.
Methods: To contribute to this understanding, we asked 122 participants in Germany how they perceived 38 statements about artificial intelligence in different contexts (personal, economic, industrial, social, cultural, health). We assessed their personal evaluation and the perceived likelihood of these aspects becoming reality.
Results: We visualized the responses in a criticality map that allows the identification of issues that require particular attention from research and policy-making. The results show that the perceived evaluation and the perceived expectations differ considerably between the domains. The aspect perceived as most critical is the fear of cybersecurity threats, which is seen as highly likely and least liked.
Discussion: The diversity of users influenced the evaluation: People with lower trust rated the impact of AI as more positive but less likely. Compared to people with higher trust, they consider certain features and consequences of AI to be more desirable, but they think the impact of AI will be smaller. We conclude that AI is still a “black box” for many. Neither the opportunities nor the risks can yet be adequately assessed, which can lead to biased and irrational control beliefs in the public perception of AI. The article concludes with guidelines for promoting AI literacy to facilitate informed decision-making.
