A new survey, reported by The Conversation and summarised by AllAfrica, examines how young adults in lower- and middle-income countries view artificial intelligence and what they expect it will do for them. The study draws on responses from people in ten countries across Africa and South Asia. It finds that many young respondents are generally more positive about AI’s potential benefits than their counterparts in Western countries. The survey also suggests that optimism is linked to expectations that AI can improve opportunities in work or education and support social aspects of daily life. The authors say evidence has previously been limited on how young people in middle- and low-income contexts use AI and how they feel about it, making the results notable for filling a knowledge gap. The article frames the findings as an early indicator of attitudes toward AI rather than a definitive measure of real-world outcomes, and calls attention to differing perspectives across regions and income levels.
