There is a noticeable shift in the United States from what was once considered excitement about artificial intelligence to increasingly becoming resistance, skepticism, and in some cases, outright hostility. AI is no longer just a technological story. It has now become a social and political one. Public sentiment has soured due to fears of job displacement, rising energy costs linked to data centers, concerns about education and mental health, and a general sense that AI is being deployed faster than society can absorb it. Delivering a commencement address at the University of Arizona, Schmidt told students the “technological transformation” wrought by artificial intelligence will be “larger, faster, and more consequential than what came before.” Like some other graduation speakers mentioning AI, Schmidt was met with a chorus of boos. submitted by /u/chota-kaka
