Abstract

The study presents the research outcomes regarding the attitude of the students from Timişoara, from humanities and technical specializations, toward the emergence and development of artificial intelligence (AI). How will new technologies transform our lives? Will our workplaces be affected by the emergence and development of AI entities? Will the use of material resources be optimized? Will people's comfort increase? These are just some of the questions we are trying to answer, highlighting the students' attitude at the universities of Timişoara regarding the emergence of artificial intelligence, with emphasis being placed on the most likely consequences of its future development, the benefits that its development would entail. The method used for data collection was the sociological survey and the information gathering tool was the questionnaire, applied online to 928 people. The variables according to which the data were interpreted were the type of specialization (humanistic and technical) and the gender of the respondents (male and female). In general, positive perceptions about the emergence and development of artificial intelligence entities/ devices were recorded , the benefits that it could bring in the future by building sophisticated robots, surpassing human intelligence, the control of intelligent weapons by humans, the emergence of new trades, the improvement of health care and human health, the optimization of material resources, and so on.
