Abstract
We use two separate experiments to study social acceptance of AI ethical decision making. In the first experiment, we test whether there is an unjustifiable fear of technology. Moreover, we contrast two methodologies to estimate preferences: an indirect method and a direct method. We find that the direct method shows that humans have an aversion toward AI; however, the indirect method shows that humans do not mind the implementation of new technologies. We identify the cause of this discrepancy and find that, in addition to their own preferences, the respondents largely weight social preferences on the direct method. Finally, in the second experiment, we study how humans react to different ways to introduce this new technology to society to show that part of the fear of AI may be related to trust in the government.
