Chinese citizens are among those who feel the most positively about AI products and services. Americans … not so much.

In a 2022 IPSOS survey, 78% of Chinese respondents (the highest proportion of surveyed countries) agreed with the statement that products and services using AI have more benefits than drawbacks. After Chinese respondents, those from Saudi Arabia (76%) and India (71%) felt the most positive about AI products. Only 35% of sampled Americans (among the lowest of surveyed countries) agreed that products and services using AI had more benefits than drawbacks.

When you think about it, it makes sense.

USians see everything from a capitalist, private ownership point of view. That's what they live under. So of course AI will be used to do terrible things if it's in the hands of billionaires.

But the Chinese, they see it from a socialist perspective. They live in a democracy, where huge tools like that would be publicly owned by the state. Of course that will be used for good, because there's no way a majority of people are going to vote for something terrible.

Publicly owned or at least regulated. Pretty sure there will be abuses from the national and foreign bourgeoisie at some point but they'll be dealt with intelligently
