As OpenAI's ChatGPT becomes extremely popular, over half of Americans think AI poses a risk to humanity. Only a tenth of participants think that AI will have a positive effect on society.

The findings came from a poll held by Monmouth University, which found that 9% of Americans think that AI will do good for humanity compared to bad. 46% of the participants thought that the effects of artificial intelligence would be equally good and bad.

41% of the participants think that artificial intelligence would cause harm to society, while 55% of them believed that AI poses a huge risk on posing a risk to humanity. The survey also believes that artificial intelligence would potentially replace the jobs of certain people.

72% of participants think that in the future, artificial intelligence will eventually write all news articles. Over two-thirds of participants said that it would be a bad thing if this happened.

Despite the majority fearing how AI could potentially harm humanity, just a little over half of the participants supported using AI for facial recognition. 54% of them support its use for certain situations like identifying who attends sporting events.

Recently, Elon Musk has approached certain AI researchers over the past few weeks regarding potentially forming a new research lab to focus on a ChatGPT alternative. Musk was actually a co-founder of OpenAI in 2015 with Y Combinator president Sam Altman.

Musk has previously expressed his concerns about AI posing a risk and calling for regulation of AI. He noted how he thinks it poses a greater risk to civilization than other tech endeavors like medicine, cars, or aircraft.

On the other hand, Microsoft has heavily integrated ChatGPT as its CTO shared how the tool was used to understand Gen Z lingos, including words like "bussin" and "rizz."
