If you allow it, I'm gonna throw some numbers at you.
According to some recent polling from the good people at Pew,
about half of Americans now use AI chatbots for something in their lives, whether it's work or personal.
That's a dramatic increase from just two years ago when it was more like 30% of the country.
But here's the funny thing.
Only 16% of the country thinks AI will have a positive impact on society.
Two-thirds of Americans think AI technology is advancing too quickly.
And most Americans, especially young Americans, don't trust AI nor the people in charge of it.
And all this polling was done before an open AI agent went rogue and hacked another company.
On Today Explained from Vox, isn't that the thing science fiction warned us about for all those years?
Yes.
And what can we do about it?
Support for the show comes from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and the new film Disclosure Day.
Wow, I've seen that movie.
Watch Disclosure Day at home now.
Oh, I saw it in the theaters, which was probably more fun.
But yeah, have your fun at home.
It's got exclusive bonus features.
I didn't get those.
If you found out we weren't alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you?
