Abstract

This study provides a new perspective on trust in artificial intelligence (AI), examining people's attitudes toward trust in the use of AI systems in particular. The aim of this study is to examine attitudes and to know what are the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence (AI). Also, in addition to the empirical part, this paper also deals with theoretical knowledge about artificial intelligence, which is the basis of the existing literature. For the purposes of this research, the authors created a survey based on secondary sources. The survey was conducted on the entire territory of Serbia. The subject of this work is the examination of the attitudes and knowledge of the inhabitants of Serbia about artificial intelligence as well as its technologies, which focuses on a deeper understanding of the perceptions and attitudes of the public in Serbia about artificial intelligence.
