Americans across the political spectrum think that having machines with the ability to think for themselves will hurt jobs and the economy, according to a recent Monmouth poll. 67% of Democrats, 81% of Republicans, and 71% of independents agree.
People across party lines also agree that it would be bad idea to use machines with A.I. to
Monitor and make decisions about safety operations of nuclear power
Be military search drones that distinguish between civilian bystanders and enemy combatants to decide which buildings to attack
Be robotic nurses for bedridden patients that can diagnose situations and decide when to administer medicine
Drive and make local deliveries
However, people agree it would be good idea to use machines with AI to perform risky jobs such as coal mining.
