What is it about?
In this paper I use the example of public commentators in mass media suggesting how artificial intelligence may be an existential threat have influenced governmental debates about the topic and generally established the notion that AI is potentially dangerous and harmful. The article is easily read by non-experts because I am simply referring to newspapers and other public media in an accessible manner.

Why is it important?
AI is a technology which can be used to solve many problems in this world. The influence of such commentators offering distorted images of AI may cause stagnation in funding such important projects for reasons that are invalid.
Perspectives
This paper can be assisted by more empirical research on actual expert views on the topic. Something I am working on at the moment.
