Discussions of artificial intelligence (AI) are inescapable online, whether scrolling through social media or catching up on headlines. And how we feel about these debates are often reflective of our backgrounds, experiences, and interactions with the technology.   

A report by Pew Research Center shares new research related to the opinions by technical experts and the public. By polling these communities, the report was able to compare perceptions of AI related to opportunities and fears, as well as insights from these communities on AI’s impact on the future of work, and other use cases like elections and voting. 

In this episode of the TechTank podcast, co-host Nicol Turner Lee is joined by Monica Anderson, the director of internet and technology research at Pew Research Center, to discuss the findings and share what this means for future research and policy discussions.
