Searching for America with Robyn Curnow

Why Some Americans Think AI is the Devil


Listen Later

Artificial intelligence may be the most powerful technology humans have ever built - but many Americans don’t trust it.

After taking an AI course at Georgia Institute of Technology, Robyn Curnow explores why voters across the political spectrum are uneasy about AI, from job fears to electricity-hungry data centers.

From a conversation with an HVAC technician who believes the “devil’s number” is hidden inside computer chips to a classroom discussion about white-collar job disruption, this episode explores the deeper anxieties shaping America’s response to artificial intelligence.

And the political landmines that will determine who triumphs at the ballot box in this year's midterms.
