Very insulated. Stanford released a report[1] in April, that shows a wide gap between AI Insiders and everyone else. > 5. AI experts and the U.S. public have very different perspectives on AI's future, except on elections and personal relationships. >On how people do their jobs, 73% of experts expect a positive impact compared to just 23% of the public, a 50-point gap. Similar divides appear for the economy (69% vs. 21%) and medical care (84% vs. 44%) > 6. Nearly two-thirds of Americans (64%) expect AI to lead to fewer jobs over the next 20 years, while only 5% expect more. >Experts were less pessimistic (39% fewer, 19% more) but forecast far faster adoption, expecting generative AI to assist 18% of U.S. work hours by 2030 versus the public's estimate of 10%.
