  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Challenges of Faith radio program. I'm
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Gary McCants. Thank you for joining me. Here on episode 3389,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the question is, did you hear? Pew Research has really
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: laid it out for us all to just ponder. You
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: know we should. But the question is, what have they
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: laid out? Well, they've laid out facts. You know, F-A-C-T-S,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: for all of us to just think about. From diagnosis
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to treatments. And the question that they posed and answered,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the researchers, is why Americans use AI chatbots for health.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Are you using it for your health concerns? Well, they
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: said that Americans use chatbots for a host of health-related reasons,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: from helping making diagnosis on their own, to learning more
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: about information they have received from a doctor. Nearly all
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: chatbot health users find this AI information helpful for their life. Also,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Americans want transparency when AI is used in their health care,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: because you've got to remember, irrespective of topic, it's all
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: about some form of relationship. And the key takeaways that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: they have is that a quarter of Americans say they
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: use AI chatbots to diagnose problems. Similar shares use them
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to better understand information they may have gotten from health
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: care providers like to learn more about a doctor's diagnosis
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: or understand lab results. And nearly all chatbot health users
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: find this health information at least somewhat helpful. But these
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: users are split on whether they feel comfortable sharing personal
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: health information with chatbots. They said that Americans' use of
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: social media, for example, to obtain the health information, it
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: differs by race and ethnicity. And they talk about how
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that Hispanic, black, and Asian adults are more likely than
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: white adults to get health information from social media and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: from health and wellness influencers. How about you? Is that
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: how you're using it? Now let's take a moment and
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: turn to another topic that Pew Research has covered. He
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: said that young adults in the United States are increasingly
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: wary of AI, are you? And that they're concerned that
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: it's going to take their jobs. You know, a lot
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: of people try to act like that's not the case,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: but in reality, in many of the cases, it is.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: But they go on to say that about half of
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Americans say they're more concerned than excited about the increased
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: use of AI in daily life, and young adults' concern
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: is rising. 52% of Americans say they're more concerned than
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: excited about the increased use of AI in their daily life,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and that's up from 37% in 2021. Another 9% are
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: more excited than concerned, and 37% they are equally excited
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and concerned. According to a Pew Research Center survey that
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: was conducted a few weeks ago, The concern about AI
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: is up among younger and older Americans alike since they
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: first asked this question in 2021. But while the rise
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: was mainly in the first two years for Americans ages
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: 30 and older, the concern continues to climb for adults
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: under 30. And the reason is because the skepticism of
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: AI has made headlines in recent months. So you have
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the young adults worrying over AI, And it continues to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: climb while their excitement has dropped off. Think about that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Have you really thought about that? Those who said they
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: were equally concerned and excited, well, they didn't answer the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: survey question. And for the first time, the majority of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: adults under 30, which is 55%, now say they're more
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: concerned than excited about AI. And that means about 1
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: in 10 say they're more excited than concerned and roughly
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a third feel both equally. That means that their concern
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: is now on par with those in their 30s and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: 40s and those 65 and up. And when you look
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: across the age groups, it looks like about half or
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: more say they're more concerned than excited about AI. And
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: then the excitement in turn has dropped off since 2021
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: among all age groups. So as you continue to look
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: at this survey that Pew Research Center has done, It
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: appears that more Americans think AI is going to take
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: people's jobs than two years ago. Think about that. You've
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: got so many U.S. adults who say they think artificial intelligence, AI,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: is going to lead to that in the United States
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: over the next 20 years. And then you have those
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: who weren't sure. You had 16% in 2024 and 14%
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: in 2026, or you had some that just didn't answer
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the question on the survey. But even so, in 2021,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the job loss was one of the top reasons that
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Americans concerned about AI. So today, Americans largely and increasingly
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: think AI-related job loss is on the horizon. So in
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Pew Research Center's new survey, 71% of adults think AI
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: would lead to fewer jobs in the United States, again,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: over the next two decades, up from 64%. in 2024.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And then you have a few, let's say 5%, that
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: says AI is going to lead to more jobs. So
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you have 1 in 10 that say it won't make
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: much difference, and a slightly larger share are unsure. And
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: then when you look across most age groups, it's become
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: more common. It appears for Americans to foresee job loss
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: from AI. For example, again, 73% of adults under 30
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: now say AI would lead to fewer jobs, up from
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: 61% from two years ago. And the youngest adults are
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: now just as likely as those ages 30 to 64
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to hold this view. So you're talking about Americans 65
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and older are a bit less likely to think AI
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: would lead to fewer jobs, though this is still the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: majority view among the age group. Well, let me ask
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you a question. You don't mind. What's your thoughts on
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the same thing? survey that Pew Research Center just laid out.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I know you haven't because your opinion matters. So again,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: what say you? Will you live and work? And as
• 6:58
