Men overclaim AI knowledge in Harvard survey, including fictional executives

A Harvard survey of more than 5,400 Americans found 73 percent of men said they knew who Sam Altman was, and 53 percent claimed to recognize two fictional AI executives, Susan Milner and Craig Dalton.

Women were more likely to say they were not sure, averaging 3.3 unsure answers out of 12 questions compared with 2.3 for men. Men also answered factual AI questions correctly more often, though both genders erred at about the same rate.
