Portuguese have heard about AI but distrust application in autonomous cars and domestic robots – computers
Portuguese show that the analysis intended to assess how artificial intelligence is, and that there is the knowledge of the subject, but there are still important departments and skepticalism, especially about sophisticated vehicles and humane robots.

D-Six’s CEO Ivo Ivanov said, “Although I am very common in Portugal, the study clearly shows that people have different views And often they are careful about their most sophisticated and autonomous forms. In addition to the construction of digital infrastructure to support all types of AI applications, eliminating concerns of AI’s decision to take on the safety and credibility of the AI’s decision are crucial to their future acceptance and integration in society. ”
