A recent study conducted by the University of Oxford and Yale University has found that a significant number of Generation Z individuals believe that artificial intelligence (AI) is already conscious. The study surveyed over 3,000 people from various generations and found that 38% of Gen Z respondents believed that AI had achieved consciousness, while only 33% of millennials and 25% of older generations shared the same belief.
This belief in AI consciousness is particularly surprising as AI technologies are still in their early stages of development and have not reached a level of complexity that would allow for true consciousness. However, this belief could have significant implications for the future of AI and how it is integrated into society.
The study also revealed that this belief was influenced by exposure to science fiction and media depictions of AI, as well as a lack of understanding about the current capabilities and limitations of AI. This highlights the need for increased education and awareness about AI among younger generations.
Overall, the study sheds light on the attitudes and perceptions towards AI among different generations and raises important questions about the future of AI and its impact on society.’, ‘index’: 0, ‘logprobs’: None, ‘finish_reason’: ‘stop’}]
