There is a great paper from Nature about the perception of AI in organizational settings. Here is abstract, you can find it online. I wish to know your thoughts on the topic of perception of AI, where will it matter the most, where will it be necessary to change people's attitudes towards it?
Advances in robotics and artificial intelligence are increasingly enabling organizations to replace humans with intelligent machines and algorithms. Forecasts predict that, in the coming years, these new technologies will affect millions of workers in a wide range of occupations, replacing human workers in numerous tasks, but potentially also in whole occupations. Despite the intense debate about these developments in economics, sociology and other social sciences, research has not examined how people react to the technological replacement of human labour. We begin to address this gap by examining the psychology of technological replacement. Our investigation reveals that people tend to prefer workers to be replaced by other human workers (versus robots); however, paradoxically, this preference reverses when people consider the prospect of their own job loss. We further demonstrate that this preference reversal occurs because being replaced by machines, robots or software (versus other humans) is associated with reduced selfthreat. In contrast, being replaced by robots is associated with a greater perceived threat to one’s economic future. These findings suggest that technological replacement of human labour has unique psychological consequences that should be taken into account by policy measures (for example, appropriately tailoring support programmes for the unemployed).
I think this is an emotional and social issue and not only an economic problem. The threat is on human identity and on human to human relationships. The gap stems from third person effect TPE, a well known effect in media effects research. I wiil be glad to participate in this kind of research. Dr. Orly Melamed - [email protected]

Dear researchers,
It would be useful to distinguish A.I. marketing from honest scientific research.

I agree with you Constantine. But these research questions are important and have implications for policy decision makers. The problem is that artificial intelligence is considered a preferred substitute for human solutions mainly because of economic considerations. We must take into account other possible social, moral and emotional considerations in order to decide which artificial intelligence application to develop and implement.
