French interest in artificial intelligence
According to the Critical Thinking Barometer conducted by OpinionWay for Universcience, the French are showing an interest in artificial intelligence, but remain cautious about its use.
61% of those surveyed consider AI to be a major technological revolution, but 85% think that regulation is necessary, underlining their ethical and legal concerns.
The French trust AI for tasks such as error detection (75%) or data analysis (73%), but less so for responsibilities such as prescribing medication (33%), flying a plane (28%) or rendering a legal decision (25%). While the speed (87%) and quality (74%) of AI output is impressive, its reliability (78%) raises questions. And 80% of respondents prefer to compare AI results with other sources.
