Perception of Artificial Intelligence in Spain

Abstract

The present paper analyses perception of AI of individuals in Spain and the factors associated with it. Data on 6,308 individuals from the Spanish survey (CIS, 2018) are used. The data include several measures of perception, innovation, place of residence (autonomous regions and province), gender, age, educational level, and other socioeconomic and technical variables.A binary logit regression model is formulated and estimated for the attitude towards robots and artificial intelligence and its possible determinants. The results indicate that people have a negative attitude if they are not interested in scientific discoveries and technological developments and if AI and robots are not helpful at work.

The public perceptions of algorithmic decision-making systems: Results from a large-scale survey

“…First, there is an ongoing discussion on the use of ADM systems in popular media; and it is not clear how the public indeed reacts to these discussions. It is important to understand how individuals think about various ADM systems so that these systems can be designed according to public values and expectations and society can reap the benefits and avoid risks associated with these systems to the highest possible extent (Lozano et al, 2021;Wirtz et al, 2019). With our findings, we answer the call for empirical research on understanding public perceptions of various ADM systems and, specifically, how transparency concern impacts perceptions of these systems (Burrell, 2016) in relation to ethically and socially salient principles and issues.…”

Does artificial intelligence kill employment growth: the missing link of corporate AI posture

“…Also, the "Future of work" linked to AI must consider jobs quality (Liu, 2023), and impact on wages , as the necessarily complementarity human skills to boost corporate performance (Xie et al, 2021;Babina et al, 2022;Georgieff and Hyee, 2022). Here we keep the focus on the issue of employment changes because it remains a key social concern (Lozano et al, 2021). The recent development of generative AI has made this concern more acute, with jobs originally thought to be immune like creative jobs being also at risk of substitution by AI, albeit they (Bankins et al, 2023;Bughin, 2023or Felten et al, 2023.…”

Harmonizing with machines: A quantitative exploration of ai coverage in german music magazines

“…Previous studies have highlighted the range of coverage and attitudes towards AI in different geographical contexts, such as the UK (Scott Brennen et al, 2018) and Spain (Albarrán Lozano et al, 2021). Given Germany's unique positioning in the global discourse on music and technology, understanding its media coverage will provide valuable insights.…”
