A Statista survey asked Americans what they want AI to do. The top answers were:

1. Medical breakthroughs (56%)
2. Solve climate change (40%)
3. Explore space (32%)
4. Write computer code (15%)
5. Drive a car (14%)
6. Take meeting notes (10%)
7. Create art (8%)
8. Write a dating profile (7%)

Currently, the things AI does best are at the bottom of the list. The things at the top of the list are areas where AI has the potential to help but is far from being a solution on its own. Expectations vs. reality is a gap that will take time to close.
