- Abstract: The Fourth Industrial Revolution, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI),
has had a profound impact on society, raising concerns about its implications
and ethical considerations. The emergence of text generative AI tools like
ChatGPT has further intensified concerns regarding ethics, security, privacy,
and copyright. This study aims to examine the perceptions of individuals in
different information flow categorizations toward AI. The results reveal key
themes in participant-supplied definitions of AI and the fourth industrial
revolution, emphasizing the replication of human intelligence, machine
learning, automation, and the integration of digital technologies. Participants
expressed concerns about job replacement, privacy invasion, and inaccurate
information provided by AI. However, they also recognized the benefits of AI,
such as solving complex problems and increasing convenience. Views on
government involvement in shaping the fourth industrial revolution varied, with
some advocating for strict regulations and others favoring support and
development. The anticipated changes brought by the fourth industrial
revolution include automation, potential job impacts, increased social
disconnect, and reliance on technology. Understanding these perceptions is
crucial for effectively managing the challenges and opportunities associated
with AI in the evolving digital landscape.
