Will AI Harm Humans? Poll finds Americans want to slow development but not stop

Summary

Most Americans worry that artificial intelligence (AI) could harm people, either by acting on its own or being used by others to cause damage. However, they do not want to stop AI development completely because they believe the U.S. needs AI to stay competitive and that it can help with medical and scientific progress.
