The objective of the thesis was to examine the image of artificial intelligence in society, the fears associated with it and the extent to which these perceptions are based on reality. The research was conducted through a review of recent literature, industry reports and academic studies on the applications, biases and societal impacts of AI technologies. The analysis focused on several fields, including healthcare, creative industries, cybersecurity, sustainability and ethics.
The results indicated that while artificial intelligence offers significant advancements across various sectors, societal fears are often a blend of realistic concerns such as data privacy risks, workforce changes and in misconceptions fuelled by media portrayal. The thesis concluded that critical awareness, responsible development and transparent governance are essential in fostering public trust and mitigating unfounded fears related to artificial intelligence.
