- Description
- As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integral to modern society, its profound implications are coming to the forefront of discussions. This research paper investigates the perspective of Generation Z on the multifaceted societal and ethical impacts of AI. Gen Z is the first generation to fully embrace AI across all facets of life. Therefore, understanding their attitudes, concerns, and expectations towards AI is imperative for cultivating a responsible, adaptable, and ethically conscious society in the AI-driven era. This study addresses a significant research gap by exploring Gen Zs perceptions of the challenges associated with AI, such as issues related to privacy, data security, transparency, bias, public fear and more. It also examines the impact of AI on employment dynamics, specifically on job displacement and the necessity for reskilling in the face of AI-driven automation. The paper adopts a global perspective, acknowledging the variations in perception influenced by cultural, economic, and historical factors. Leveraging a sample size of approximately 200250 respondents aged 1825years, the research aims to provide a comprehensive view of Gen Zs viewpoints on AIs ethical and societal ramifications. Findings emphasize the need for transparent and accountable AI systems, as Gen Z is uncomfortable with the ambiguity in AI algorithms. Concerns about privacy and data security highlight the necessity for robust safeguards. They also advocate for strategies to address job displacement and ensure harmonious coexistence between humans and AI. In education, Gen Z sees AI as transformative, endorsing personalized learning. They stress the importance of regulatory frameworks to combat AI bias. They recognize AIs potential to enhance human connections and combat social isolation. The studys findings contribute to policy discussions, educational strategies, and business practices, offering insights into how to harness AIs benefits while mitigating its potential pitfalls.
