8 percent of those who fear artificial intelligence fear that machines will make people unemployed. The other 14% say they are “afraid of robotization”.
“The growing artificial intelligence industry requires a strong infrastructure that requires the creation of new jobs and facilitates the emergence of new specializations. As for robotization, this is a completely different sector,” said Artem Senyushkin, commercial director of Art Engineering, commenting on the fears of Russians.
