Why are so many people suffering from AI...

About this episode

A Pew Research Center survey from August 2023 found that 52% of respondents were more concerned than excited about AI in daily life, compared with just 10% who felt the opposite. It’s not surprising really when you think about it; after all, things that we don’t understand tend to both fascinate and frighten in equal measure.

It’s only very recently that AI has started becoming part of many people’s everyday lives, and it’s still hard to predict its full impact in the future. The growing unease around artificial intelligence is known as AI anxiety, and that’s a term we’re only going to hear more and more about in years to come.

What exactly is AI anxiety? Why does that prospect worry so many people? How can I best manage my AI anxiety? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
