75% of Japanese say AI is 'useful' while 2% evaluate it as 'evil incarnate', and in another survey in the United States, 61% believe that AI may threaten humanity, more than 66% concerned about negative impact



The development of generative AI that can automatically generate images and sentences, such as image generation AI such as

Stable Diffusion and Midjourney , and interactive chat AI using large-scale language models such as GPT-4 , Bard , andLLaMA , is progressing rapidly. We are seeing more and more examples of how this technology is applied in our daily lives. Adobe, which develops Photoshop and Illustrator, has announced the results of a questionnaire on the impact of such generative AI on consumers and companies.

The survey was conducted in 14 countries: USA, UK, Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, France, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. The survey was conducted with 4,250 marketing professionals.

In response to the question ``Do you think generative AI will improve the customer experience?'', 76% of Japanese consumers answered, ``I think generative AI will improve the customer experience.'' On the other hand, 67% of American consumers answered that they 'think it will improve.'



Furthermore, in response to the question, 'Which description do you think is the most appropriate for explaining generative AI?', 73% of Japanese consumers answered 'useful' and 3% answered 'miracle.' about three-quarters of respondents gave positive responses. In addition, 9% answered 'unnecessary', 5% 'annoying', 2% 'evil incarnate', and 9% 'irrelevant to me'. On the other hand, in the United States, 43% answered that it was 'useful', 3% answered that it was 'miracle', and 46% of consumers who answered positively. 7% answered 'annoying', 10% 'unnecessary', 4% 'evil incarnate', and the remaining 32% answered 'irrelevant to me'.



Also, when we asked CX and marketing experts, 'Do you actively use content created with generative AI?' was 31%. In Japan, not only 16% of the respondents answered that they 'absolutely do not use', but also those who answered 'only if used by other major companies' and 'only if authorized by legal counsel'. totaled 46%, indicating a cautious attitude toward the use of generative AI. On the other hand, 64% of Americans answered that they would 'proactively use', more than twice as many as in Japan.



In addition, a joint survey of 4,415 American adults by news media Reuters and market research firm Ipsos found that more than two-thirds were concerned about the adverse effects of AI.

Furthermore, 70% of those who voted for Republican Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election answered that AI poses a risk to humanity, while those who voted for Joe Biden said that AI 60% said they pose a risk to humanity.

Professor Ion Stoika, a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley and founder of the AI company Anyscale , said, ``The application of AI, which shows revolutionary success in pharmaceuticals and other fields, is as invisible as ChatGPT. , they probably don't realize how pervasive AI is already in their daily lives, both at home and at work.'
