China is better positioned than many other nations to lead in artificial intelligence due to the public\u2019s \u201cstrikingly positive\u201d attitude towards the technology, according to a new survey by University College London.<\/p>\n
Less than 10 per cent of respondents in China worried that AI would make it harder to find a job and about one-third believed the technology would create more high-skilled work<\/a>, the survey found.<\/p>\n A whopping 96 per cent of Chinese people surveyed said they used AI at work every week and 79 per cent thought university students should be taught to use it \u201ceffectively\u201d, according to the findings released on Monday.<\/p>\n University College London conducted the poll in China in collaboration with the London-based consultancy Public First.<\/p>\n \u201cOur research suggests that while there is global anxiety around AI, there is also a widespread belief among the Chinese public that AI can support future skills and higher-value work,\u201d Public First said in a statement.<\/p>\n \u201cNew polling \u2026 suggests the Chinese public are not only using AI widely, but are broadly confident about its impact on work, education and skills,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n Concerns about AI\u2019s potential to disrupt the job market have emerged in China over recent months. In early May, a Chinese court ruled it was illegal<\/a> for a company to terminate a worker in favour of using a cheaper AI tool. Government advisers have also called on Beijing to set \u201cred lines\u201d<\/a> to guide the industry\u2019s development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"China is better positioned than many other nations to lead in artificial intelligence due to the public\u2019s \u201cstrikingly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":503097,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[261],"tags":[291,9328,289,290,381,5214,18,19,17,130,218558,82,384,22553],"class_list":["post-503096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-americans","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-china","tag-chinese","tag-eire","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-london","tag-public-first","tag-technology","tag-united-states","tag-university-college-london"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116639949487883596","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=503096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/503097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=503096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=503096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=503096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
