Research Symposium

BIO

Hello! I am a sophomore majoring in Behavioral Neuroscience on the pre-dental track at Florida State University. I am originally from Gainesville, FL and love everything about FSU! Academically, my interests include neuroscience, healthcare, and the intersection of technology and society. Outside of academics, I enjoy powerlifting, reading, and spending time with friends and family. After graduation, I plan to pursue dental school and integrate my knowledge of behavioral science and technology to enhance patient care.

AI: Friend, Foe, or Future? A Review of Attitudes and Perceptions of AI

Abstract

This project explores the demographic factors associated with individuals' attitudes and
understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) through a literature review. We searched for
relevant studies using keywords such as "AI trust," "AI attitudes," and "AI anxiety." After
applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, we identified the five most relevant papers. The
findings indicate that age, gender, and educational background are key demographic
factors linked to AI attitudes. For example, Schepman and Rodway (2022) found that
men and younger individuals tend to hold more positive views of AI. By highlighting these
demographic trends, our review underscores the need to account for these factors when
developing surveys and conducting further research into public perceptions of AI

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, AI literacy, AI attitudes, demographics
