53% of men surveyed said they knew fictional AI executives

WIRED reports that in a Harvard survey of more than 5,400 Americans, 53 percent of male respondents said they knew of three AI figures: Mira Murati, Susan Milner and Craig Dalton. Murati is real; Milner and Dalton are fictional. Forty percent of women surveyed also claimed to know the two fictional figures. Researchers found that men more often answered factual AI questions correctly, while women more often said they weren’t sure. Men and women answered incorrectly at around the same rate.
