Approximately 81 percent of survey respondents said it is "very" important to keep AI under human control.

8 out of 10 participants stated that protecting employees against the development of artificial intelligence should be among the government's priorities.

While the rate of those who considered encouraging technological innovations important was approximately half of the participants, the rate of those who gave importance to competition with China was 45 percent.
