Prompted by the increasing prominence of artificial intelligence (AI) in society, University of Tokyo researchers, including Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe Professor Hiromi Yokoyama, investigated public attitudes toward the ethics of AI. Their findings quantify how different demographics and ethical scenarios affect these attitudes. As part of this study, the team developed an octagonal visual metric, analogous to a rating system, which could be useful to AI researchers who wish to know how their work may be perceived by the public.
