Digital marketing professionals in Russia have faith in the reliability of neural networks
In a recent study conducted by SuperJob, a contradictory attitude towards Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the professional sphere in Russia was revealed. The findings suggest a lack of a unified opinion among different professional groups regarding AI.
The study found that PR managers, analysts, and programmers have a high percentage of negative responses towards AI, with 53%, 50%, and 47% negative response rates respectively. This negative sentiment is particularly pronounced among professionals requiring high accuracy and responsibility, as they fear the potential for errors and inaccuracies that AI might introduce.
In contrast, creative specialists such as marketers, HR managers, and sales managers see AI's potential in automating routine tasks. These professionals, who are less reliant on the precision and responsibility that AI might compromise, are more likely to view AI favourably.
However, the study did not provide information about the reasons for the contradictory attitudes towards AI in the professional sphere in Russia. It also did not provide information about the level of trust in AI among other professional groups in Russia beyond creative specialists.
Interestingly, the most trust in AI was found among AI specialists, marketers, HR managers, and sales managers. Despite this, high uncertainty about AI requires education about its real capabilities and limitations in different fields in Russia.
The study also found that 21% of PR managers and 70% of chief accountants struggled to answer questions about AI. This highlights the need for increased understanding and education about AI within the Russian professional sphere.
The perception of AI depends on the professional context in Russia. As the country navigates the integration of AI into its workforce, it is crucial to address the contradictory attitudes towards AI and promote a more informed and positive outlook.
Meanwhile, in Germany, the general population exhibits a cautious trust in AI. While only about 39% trust AI decisions, 73% believe AI should support but not make final decisions. Concerns focus on data privacy, with 66% worried about misuse of personal data and a majority rejecting uncontrolled data collection.
Political figures and economic representatives in Germany, such as members of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen and industry leaders, emphasize responsible AI use, transparency, regulatory framework improvements, and collaboration between politics and business to promote AI as a tool for sustainability and innovation.
Thus, the public, politicians, and industry groups hold differing yet overlapping views on AI trustworthiness and governance in Germany, distinct from the Russian context. As both countries continue to grapple with the implications of AI, it is clear that a nuanced understanding of the role of AI in different professional contexts is essential.
