Abstract

Are people’s attitudes toward computer-related technologies homogeneous or do these attitudes vary with specific technologies? Attitudes toward “Smartphones,” “Machines with Artificial Intelligence,” and “Robots” were significantly different, but this difference was due almost entirely to women holding less positive attitudes toward “Robots” than men.
