A quotation from Twain

> Laws are sand, customs are rock. Laws can be evaded and punishment escaped, but an openly transgressed custom brings sure punishment. The penalty may be unfair, unrighteous, illogical, and a cruelty; no mater, it will be inflicted, just the same.

Stanford report shows widening gap between AI experts and public concerns over artificial intelligence A new Stanford University report highlights a growing divergence between how AI experts and the general public perceive artificial intelligence. Drawing on multiple surveys and studies, including Pew Research and Ipsos data, the report finds that AI insiders remain significantly more optimistic about the technology's long-term impact, while public sentiment is increasingly cautious or negative. According to the findings, only 10% of Americans say they are more excited than concerned about AI in daily life. In contrast, a majority of AI experts believe the technology will have a positive effect on society over the next two decades, with 56% expressing optimism about its overall national impact. The gap is particularly notable in specific sectors: 84% of experts expect AI to improve medical care, compared to only 44% of the general public. Similarly, 73% of experts view AI positively in terms of job transformation, while only 23% of the public shares that view. Concerns about employment disruption are especially pronounced among the public, with nearly two-thirds believing AI will reduce job availability. The report also notes differences in trust toward regulation, with the United States showing relatively low confidence in government oversight of AI compared to other countries, such as Singapore. Additionally, while global optimism about AI benefits has slightly increased in recent years, anxiety has also risen, indicating a complex and polarized public attitude. Overall, the report suggests that although AI adoption continues to expand and experts remain largely optimistic, public concern is growing, particularly around employment, economic impact, and governance. This widening perception gap could shape future policy debates and influence how AI technologies are developed and deployed.
