A report from IE University in Madrid found that 75% of Europeans support the use of AI technologies such as facial recognition and biometric data by the police and military for surveillance purposes.

The extent of the support is perhaps surprising, as Europe holds some of the strictest data privacy regulations in the world.
IE University’s “European Tech Insights” report also found that the vast majority of Europeans (67%) fear AI manipulation in elections.

IE University’s report also found a generational AI divide in Europe. Roughly a third (34%) of people aged between 18 and 34 would trust an AI-powered app to vote for politicians on their behalf. This figure falls to 29% for people aged 35 to 44, and just 9% for individuals aged 65 and over.

Opinions on AI applications vary widely. The level of support for the use of AI in public service tasks, such as traffic optimization was at 79%. However, when it comes to sensitive matters, like parole decisions, most Europeans (64%) oppose the use of AI.
