Attitudes to... AI
This episode explores what the latest British Social Attitudes data and other research reveals about public opinion on Artificial Intelligence (AI).
In this episode, Mark and guests explore what the latest British Social Attitudes data reveals about public opinion on AI, from healthcare and welfare to surveillance and policing. They discuss why concerns differ across contexts, what people want from regulation, and whether government policy is keeping pace with public expectations.
Octavia Field Reid is Associate Director (Public Participation & Research Practice) at the Ada Lovelace Institute.
Curtis Jessop is the Director of Attitudinal Surveys and the NatCen Panel, where he oversees the development and delivery of the British Social Attitudes study and the NatCen Panel, the UK’s first open mixed-mode random probability research panel.
