Lower Artificial Intelligence Literacy Predicts Greater AI Receptivity

In short

Researchers studied people across different countries and found that those with less knowledge about artificial intelligence are actually more willing to adopt it.

The result is surprising because improving education about AI might accidentally make it seem less exciting and reduce its popularity among the public.
