  • How does the public feel about breakthrough technologies like AI, cell and gene therapy, cultivated meat, and new genomic techniques? 13,000 people weighed in worldwide.

The article from Forbes, published on February 18, 2025, discusses a new global survey that examines public attitudes towards emerging technologies. The survey reveals a complex landscape where enthusiasm for technological advancements like AI, quantum computing, and biotech is tempered by significant concerns over privacy, security, and ethical implications. While there is a general optimism about the potential benefits these technologies could bring to sectors like healthcare, education, and environmental sustainability, there's also a notable apprehension regarding job displacement, data misuse, and the potential for these technologies to widen the socio-economic divide. The survey highlights a generational divide, with younger demographics showing more openness to adopting new tech, whereas older generations express more skepticism. Additionally, regional differences are evident, with some countries showing more trust in government and corporate regulation of technology than others.
