By Katharina Buchholz, Statista In a survey of 32 countries carried out by Statista Consumer Insights, a majority of respondents indicated that they were not overly concerned about AI-generated news. There was variation between nations, however, as between 16 percent and 45 percent of respondents said they would want to know if the news they consumed was AI generated in a multi-pick question. As part of the same question, respondents were asked, among others, if they worried about mainstream media news being manipulated, which between 24 percent and 51 percent said they did. The least interest in finding out about the potential AI-generated origins of their news was detected in Latin American countries Argentina and Colombia as well as in South Korea and Japan. In these locations, between 16 percent and 26 percent of people said they would want to know if AI wrote their news. This was followed by France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Mexico at 26–29 percent. The biggest concern was registered in Vietnam at 45 percent, Malaysia and the Philippines at 41–42 percent as well as Brazil, also at 41 percent. Fact-Checked by Irfan Ahmad.
