A recent poll of the show's listeners indicated that while a majority's trust in AI companies is somewhat or significantly lowered by incidents like AI model breaches, a notable portion remains neutral or even sees transparency as trust-building. The poll also revealed a surprisingly balanced view on the construction of large AI data centers in communities, with a significant number expressing willingness if strict conditions are met.
“So 38% somewhat lowers it. So the trust level is lower.”
“The second question was, would you support a large AI data center being built in your community? This one's way more balanced than I would have expected, Mike.”
“36% no. Okay, that I would have expected that to be 90%, but um, 29% yes, but only with strict conditions.”
