Russians trust artificial intelligence more in domestic matters and personal safety issues than in education, justice or treatment matters.
Such data are provided by the 'Unmanned' Telegram channel, quoting a survey by the Grechka Media communication agency. They surveyed 1,300 respondents in 17 regions of Russia to find out how the country's residents relate to the gradual penetration of artificial intelligence and robots in all spheres of life.
It turned out that 32% of respondents do not trust artificial intelligence at all in all its manifestations and its decisions.
However, in terms of vitally important issues, the same amount of people, 32% of respondents, are fully ready to trust artificial intelligence. Its advice will be completely followed without a doubt by 12% of respondents, and 20% will follow such advice unconditionally depending on the situation.
23.8% of Russians believe that AI can be a good way to check any human decision, another 28.9% believe that AI is impartial and has no personal interests, which is its main plus. Another 19.7% of respondents indicated that artificial intelligence does not allow for human mistakes, which is also a benefit.
However, in education, medicine, justice, child rearing, AI has no place. Only 5.4% of respondents would trust a robot nanny to bring up their children, and only 4.9% would be happy to have a robot teacher at the board. Only 5.4% would trust a robot judge.
On the other hand, 10%, 11%, and 12% of Russians surveyed would trust a robot driver, a robot doctor, or a robot pilot with their lives, respectively.
