AI’s often negative perception based on villainous intelligent technology in films and novels must be better managed to help public confidence.
The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on modernising employment was told this week that the negative feelings surrounding artificial intelligence must be dealt with to raise the public’s confidence in developing its role in the UK’s future.
Creations such as Hal from 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Machines from The Matrix and the Cybermen (pictured) from Doctor Who have influenced the public to fear technology that could develop independent thinking of their own and terrorise or at the least take over jobs from humans.
