Note that most countries in the list are developed countries. In a separate research at https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-20/trust-in-ai-strongest-in-china-developing-countries-un-study https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-20/trust-in-... , people found that low income countries have higher trust in AI.

And presumably much less experience with it.

  My assumption was Americans have received the most exposure to rushed out products from startups.

Also SK and, to a lesser extent, Japan (and Germany?) I wonder about China. More generally, do countries deemed collectivist (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/collectivist-countries https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/collectiv...) and supportive of their government tend to lean towards AI?

  https://hai.stanford.edu/ai-index/2025-ai-index-report https://hai.stanford.edu/ai-index/2025-ai-index-report > In countries like China (83%), Indonesia (80%), and Thailand (77%), strong majorities see AI products and services as more beneficial than harmful. In contrast, optimism remains far lower in places like Canada (40%), the United States (39%), and the Netherlands (36%).

    Thanks. Interestingly, the report claims that AI optimism is rising (even the US gained 4%), but it only goes to 2024.

The chart just shows how rapidly countries have adopted AI. Everyone starts off optimistic, and when the job losses and enshittification starts to pile up it quickly turns to distrust.

  Not true. China is definitely adopting AI more universally than western countries, and I have friends in China losing designing jobs due to AI. They remain optimistic as (1) the society typically doesn't blame the technology advancement (2) they switched to an AI powered content creator (fortune telling and meme videos) and continued to make money
