A survey shows 90% now see AI as enhancing human expertise, up from 80%, while belief that AI will replace experts stayed flat. The speaker reads this as good news: people trust AI more because it's actually getting better, not because they think it'll make humans obsolete.

Chapters

What we found is that maybe contrary to some of the narratives that you hear a lot in the press, we found that beliefs about enhancement went up from 80 to 90%. That was a significant jump. While beliefs about replacement did not go up. If anything, they went down a little bit. And so now there was a gap between the two beliefs, such that more people were telling us that this technology will have the purpose of enhancing human expertise and replacing it. And to me, I saw that as a good thing and a good story, actually. This technology is powerful because if it wasn't powerful, people wouldn't tell you it cannot do quite what a human expert can do. And in 2025, we find the same. And so to me, that's an interesting story, especially when you consider how much better these models are in 2025 than they were or in 2026 now compared to where they were in early 2023.
