Americans have mixed feelings about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the economy. While some see AI advancements in fields like writing, photography, and medicine as major, others view them as minor. Only 33% are aware of the disruption caused by AI. However, there is concern over potential job loss in visual arts. AI developments in medicine and biology are seen as important, with many believing they can save lives. AI advancements in weather forecasting and agriculture are also considered major. However, there is less enthusiasm for the use of chatbots in mental health support. Americans are divided on the overall impact of AI, but the reality of AI taking over the economy is becoming clear. Hello class, this is Tanzina, and today we will discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on various sectors of the U.S. economy, especially what Americans generally think of the AI storm. OpenAI recently released the GPT-4, an improved AI and machine learning model of the Chad GPT, which swept across the United States, causing panics about potential job loss to machines. PUW Research concluded a survey to establish American sentiment on this ongoing disruption, to identify the sectors they believe would be most affected. Generally Americans have mixed feelings regarding the impact of AI on various fields.

For example, close to 59% of Americans consider using AI to predict protein structures in human body cells, a major advancement in medical research. The percentages stand at 56% and 52% respectively for AI advancement in robotic surgery and skin cancer detection. This shows that a large percentage of Americans deem that AI advancement in medicine and biology is a major industry shift that could save many lives. Similarly, AI developments in weather forecasting and agriculture have significantly improved in efficiency in weather prediction and food production. PDW research shows that 54% and 50% of Americans are familiar with the use of AI in machine learning in the production of draw and heat-resistant crops in weather forecasting and consider it a major advancement in both fields. Contrarily, the American public is relatively less enthusiastic about the use of chatbots in the provision of mental health support.
