Pew Research Center recently conducted a study to get an idea if there really is growing public concern about the role of artificial intelligence in daily life. Overall, it found that 53 percent of Americans say AI is doing more to hurt than help people keep their personal information private. Only 10 percent say AI helps more than it hurts, and 37 percent weren’t sure. (You can read more about this study in the Top Stories below.) For this ecosystem, there is no escaping AI. The best we can do is help you stay abreast of the latest developments and get prepared for what comes next.
