Artificial intelligence is making its way within the daily lives of the vast majority of individuals, whether through professional use or unwanted implementation in social media. The general opinion of industry leaders has, of course, always been quite positive, highlighting a certain degree of confidence in the appreciation of this growing technology by the consuming public.

A recent study shared with Euronews, however, seems to have proven otherwise. Conducted by taking into account the general French, German, British, Italian, and Spanish audiences, the research found that only 46 percent of Europeans viewed the huge deployment and development of artificial intelligence positively.
