Survey finds public perception of #scientists' #credibility slipped
59% agree scientists are trustworthy, 54% for #climate scientists, 28% for #AI scientists.
Share my values: A higher number (38%) agree climate scientists share my values than scientists in general (36%) and AI scientists (15%). More people disagree with this for AI scientists (35%) than others
Overcoming #bias: Just 42% of those surveyed agree scientists "are able to overcome human and #political #bias"

2. Survey finds public perception of scientists' credibility has slipped
  
  New analyses from the Annenberg Public Policy Center find that public perceptions of scientists' credibility—measured as their competence, trustworthiness, and the extent to which they are perceived to share an individual's values—remain high, but their perceived competence and trustworthiness eroded somewhat between 2023 and 2024. The research also found that public perceptions of scientists working in artificial intelligence (AI) differ from those of scientists as a whole.
