  2. Climate change and consumer data protection are greatly concerning to respondents in the I B M T E C H N O L O G Y U.S. and European Union, with 71% reporting concern about consumer data protection and 69% R E G U L A T I O N , C L I M A T E C H A N G E , reporting concern about climate change. Europeans report being more concerned about climate A N D A I change than Americans (77% to 60%) while Americans report being more concerned about consumer data protection (73% to 69%). 62% of Americans and 7 in 10 Europeans prefer a precision regulation approach for technology, with less than 10% in either region supporting broad regulation of tech. 85% of Europeans and 81% of Americans support consumer data protection in some form, and 70% of Europeans and 60% of Americans support AI regulation. 72% of Europeans and 59% of Americans would support a carbon tax , and 71% of Europeans and 53% of Americans say that if the proceeds of a carbon tax went to a carbon dividend, they would be more likely to support such a tax. Key Points Respondents in the U.S. are less comfortable than respondents in the E.U. are with various types of facial recognition technology, with 55% of Europeans comfortable with facial matching technology vs. just 47% of Americans. Respondents in both regions are most comfortable with facial recognition being used by law enforcement agencies and health care companies, and least comfortable with facial recognition being used by advertisers and social media companies. 74% of American and 85% of EU respondents are in agreement that artificial intelligence systems should be transparent and explainable, and strong pluralities in both countries believe that disclosure should be required for companies creating or distributing AI systems. Nearly 3 in 4 Europeans and two-thirds of Americans support regulations such as conducting risk assessments, doing pre-deployment testing for bias and fairness, and reporting to consumers and businesses that an AI system is being used in decision-making. Methodology S L I D E / 2 This study was conducted between January 8 – 13, 2020 by Morning Consult on behalf of IBM. The data represent the weighted results of 3,259 responses collected among adults 18 years of age and older, in the U.S. and 6 countries across the European Union (France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and the U.K.). The responses were collected online in English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian, stratified by age and gender, and then weighted by age, gender, education, region, and race (where appropriate) within each country based on most recent national census projections in each country. Results from the E.U. have a margin of error of +/- 2%, while data from the U.S. have a margin of error of +/- 3% at a 95% confidence level.

Respondents are most concerned about protection of consumer data and climate change than the I B M T E C H N O L O G Y other topics, with U.S. respondents slightly more concerned about protection of consumer data R E G U L A T I O N , than E.U. respondents, but E.U. respondents much more concerned about climate change than C L I M A T E C H A N G E , U.S. respondents A N D A I How concerned are you about the following topics?

  6. Overall, respondents are most concerned about climate change and the protection of I B M T E C H N O L O G Y R E G U L A T I O N , consumer data, with older respondents especially concerned about the latter.

  7. Respondents are most supportive of policy initiatives around safeguarding privacy I B M T E C H N O L O G Y of consumer data and keeping harmful content off the Internet; U.S. adults are less R E G U L A T I O N , supportive of each policy asked about compared to E.U. respondents C L I M A T E C H A N G E , A N D A I How much would you support or oppose the following policy initiatives?
