To Teach, Educate, Judge Should Be a Human - What Russians Think About Artificial Intelligence in Different Areas of Life

Russians trust artificial intelligence more in everyday matters and personal safety issues than in education, justice, or treatment.

These data are provided by the Telegram channel "Bespilot," referring to a study by the communication agency Grechka Media. They surveyed 1,300 respondents in 17 regions of Russia to find out how residents of the country feel about the gradual coverage of all areas of life by artificial intelligence and robots.

It turned out that 32% of respondents do not trust artificial intelligence at all in all its manifestations and its decisions.

At the same time, in terms of vital issues, the same number of people, 32% of respondents, are ready to fully trust artificial intelligence. 12% of respondents will follow its advice completely without hesitation, 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 a person's decision, another 28.9% believe that AI is impartial and has no personal interests, and this is its main advantage. Another 19.7% of respondents indicated that artificial intelligence does not make human errors, and this is its advantage.

But at the same time, AI has no place in education, medicine, justice, and raising children. Only 5.4% of respondents would entrust children to a robot nanny, and 4.9% of respondents would be happy to have a robot teacher at the blackboard. Only 5.4% of respondents would trust a robot judge.

But 10%, 11%, and 12% of Russians from among the respondents would entrust their lives to a robot driver, a robot doctor, or a robot pilot, respectively.
