We live in an age where machines are increasingly performing functions that were previously restricted to humans. Manufacturing automation has been commonplace for decades, but in recent years self-driving cars, virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, large language models like ChatGPT, artistic generative artificial intelligence (AI) programs like DALL-E and military targeting of AI. systems like GOSPEL have begun to transform our world.
These changes have brought economic anxiety for workers who may be displaced and ethical concerns about how these systems are used and the principles on which they make life-or-death decisions. Some have gone so far as to predict that technologies like these may lead to the destruction of humanity.
Why are so many of us so afraid of AI? Recently, psychologists have begun to explore the factors that shape our attitudes toward the automation of previously human functions, discovering individual and cultural differences in how we feel about these new developments.
