AI divides. The recent Anthropic poll found that 64% of Americans fear for their jobs, but 48% hope for medical miracles. Between crazy hopes and existential fears, one question burns… Should we let algorithms manage our cryptos? Spoiler: the answer is not binary.
In brief
- 64% of Americans fear that AI will cause job losses, with peaks as high as 71% in some states, according to the Anthropic poll.
- 48% of Americans hope that AI will cure diseases like cancer or Alzheimer's.
- Only 15% of Americans trust AI companies, revealing widespread distrust despite hopes.
AI: Americans between fear of unemployment and hope of curing cancer
According to the recent Anthropic survey (52,000 respondents), AI is an emotional Swiss army knife. In fact, 64% of Americans fear that it will deprive them of jobs, with peaks of 71% in Iowa. However, 48% see it as a cure for cancer or Alzheimer's. A paradox which undoubtedly reveals a collective cognitive dissonance. The fears are major. Among others:
- Misinformation (52%);
- Surveillance (47%);
- An AI that “dehumanize” creative work (42%).
However, nothing is really lost because there are some who have hope in the capabilities of AI, particularly in the areas of Health (48%), accessibility for people with disabilities (36%) and the automation of menial tasks (23%). But the real problem is that only 15% of Americans trust AI companies to develop these technologies. Consequently, AI is both the messiah and the executioner, depending on whether we look at it with the eyes of a patient… or an employee.
AI vs Crypto: should you let bots trade for you?
If AI can cure diseases, can it also manage your crypto portfolio? According to Brian Armstrong, AI agents will carry out more transactions than humans within a few years. Bot traders like those from 3Commas, HaasOnline, or even Anthropic's LLMs promise infallible algorithmic strategies… but at what price?
Risk #1: amplified volatility
A bot can execute trades in milliseconds, but it doesn't understand FOMO or market psychology. Result ? Cascading crashes like the Flash Crash of 2010, where algorithms caused the Dow Jones to fall 1,000 points in 10 minutes.
Risk #2: blind trust
According to the Anthropic survey15% of Americans trust AI, a paltry figure. However, platforms like Kryll or Bitsgap focus on total automation. Problem: without an open-source audit, how can you know if your bot is not front-running?
Risk #3: the illusion of control
Even with smart contracts and decentralized oracles, AI is only as good as the data it is given. And in crypto, data is often manipulated. So, should we trust AI with our cryptos? No. But using it as a tool? Maybe.
The Anthropic survey today shows that AI is both a revolution and a threat, in employment and in crypto. Should you entrust him with your lives… or your bitcoin? A debate that goes well beyond tech. And you, would you be ready to let a bot decide your financial future?
