A new survey finds that most people in Scotland are worried that increased use of AI could lead to less independent thinking. The findings report concerns that people may “think less for themselves” as AI tools become more widely used.
The results come from polling conducted by Find Out Now in mid-September. Both outlets covering the survey describe the same core message: a majority view AI use as a potential risk to personal judgment and self-reliance in thinking.
While the outlets do not add differing details beyond the shared headline result and methodology, they both frame the issue as a public concern reflected in the survey responses, without attributing the concerns to specific AI applications or policy measures.
