Globally, the opinion isn't generally negative. It's localized.




What does that mean?

Sure, I meant the anglosphere. But in most countries, the less people are aware of technology or use the internet the less they are enthusiastic about AI.

I don't see the correlation between technology/internet use and man-on-the-street attitudes towards AI. Compare Sweden with Japan.

Its a weak proxy for people who are not in tech.

In polling japan and sweden are very similar in terms of sentiment though: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2025/10/15/how-people-aro...


I still don't see it. Look at some of the countries with the highest relatively high individual "personal tech usage" as well as "percentage of workers/economy connected to tech": South Korea, Israel, Japan, the US, UK, the Netherlands. The first three are on the positive end, the next two on the negative end, and the last one in the middle.

"Region of the world" correlation looks a lot stronger than that.
