PURPLE: A.I. Is Bad for Jobs

Americans across the political spectrum think that having machines with the ability to think for themselves will hurt jobs and the economy, according to a recent Monmouth poll. 67% of Democrats, 81% of Republicans, and 71% of independents agree.

People across party lines also agree that it would be bad idea to use machines with A.I. to

• Monitor and make decisions about safety operations of nuclear power

• Be military search drones that distinguish between civilian bystanders and enemy combatants to decide which buildings to attack

• Be robotic nurses for bedridden patients that can diagnose situations and decide when to administer medicine

• Drive and make local deliveries

However, people agree it would be good idea to use machines with AI to perform risky jobs such as coal mining.
