• Authors: Long Pham, Barry O'Sullivan, Tai Tan Mai
• Abstract summary: This study examines the key factors that affect European reactions to artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of full and flawed democracies in Europe. It is observed that flawed democracies tend to exhibit higher levels of trust in government entities compared to their counterparts in full democracies. Individuals residing in flawed democracies demonstrate a more positive attitude toward AI when compared to respondents from full democracies.

• Abstract: This study examines the key factors that affect European reactions to artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of both full and flawed democracies in Europe. Analysing a dataset of 4,006 respondents, categorised into full democracies and flawed democracies based on the Democracy Index developed by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), this research identifies crucial factors that shape European attitudes toward AI in these two types of democracies. The analysis reveals noteworthy findings. Firstly, it is observed that flawed democracies tend to exhibit higher levels of trust in government entities compared to their counterparts in full democracies. Additionally, individuals residing in flawed democracies demonstrate a more positive attitude toward AI when compared to respondents from full democracies. However, the study finds no significant difference in AI awareness between the two types of democracies, indicating a similar level of general knowledge about AI technologies among European citizens. Moreover, the study reveals that trust in AI measures, specifically "Trust AI Solution", does not significantly vary between full and flawed democracies. This suggests that despite the differences in democratic quality, both types of democracies have similar levels of confidence in AI solutions.

• Perceptions of Discriminatory Decisions of Artificial Intelligence: Unpacking the Role of Individual Characteristics [0.0]
  Personal differences (digital self-efficacy, technical knowledge, belief in equality, political ideology) are associated with perceptions of AI outcomes. Digital self-efficacy and technical knowledge are positively associated with attitudes toward AI. Liberal ideologies are negatively associated with outcome trust, higher negative emotion, and greater skepticism.

  This paper examines the governance of large language models (MM-LLMs) through individual and collective deliberation. We conducted a two-step study: first, interviews with 10 journalists established a baseline understanding of expert video interpretation; second, 114 individuals from the general public engaged in deliberation using Inclusive.AI.

  The aim of the study is to gain a better understanding of people's views and perceptions within the European context. We design and validate a new questionnaire (PAICE) structured around three dimensions: people's awareness, attitude, and trust. We highlight implicit contradictions and identify trends that may interfere with the creation of an ecosystem of trust.

  We take a closer look at AI fairness and analyze how lack of AI fairness can lead to deepening of biases over time. We discuss how biased models can lead to more negative real-world outcomes for certain groups. If the issues persist, they could be reinforced by interactions with other risks and have severe implications on society in the form of social unrest.

  Numerous parties are calling for the democratisation of AI, but the phrase is used to refer to a variety of goals, the pursuit of which sometimes conflict. This paper identifies four kinds of AI democratisation that are commonly discussed. Main takeaway is that AI democratisation is a multifarious and sometimes conflicting concept.

  We study whether features that reveal case-specific model information can calibrate trust and improve the joint performance of the human and AI. We show that confidence score can help calibrate people's trust in an AI model, but trust calibration alone is not sufficient to improve AI-assisted decision making.
