China and Developing Nations Trust AI the Most, UN Survey Finds

In the US and Europe, confidence in artificial intelligence is far lower.

Artificial intelligence may be a global technology, but public attitudes toward it are anything but universal. A new United Nations poll shows that trust in AI is highest in China and other developing economies, while richer nations remain deeply skeptical.

The findings come from a massive UN Development Programme survey that interviewed more than 21,000 people across 21 countries between November 2024 and January 2025. Researchers asked participants if they believe AI «serves the best interests of society,» and whether governments can harness the technology to improve daily life.

According to Bloomberg, 83% of participants in China said they trust AI, by far the highest share in the study, Confidence levels were above 60% in Kyrgyzstan, Egypt, India, Nigeria and Pakistan, nations that do not belong to the UN’s very-high Human Development Index bracket, a yardstick for gauging overall well-being in a country.

The picture is the opposite in high-HDI economies. A minority of adults in the United States, Germany, Australia and Greece expressed faith that AI is being used for the common good. One notable exception is Japan, where 65% trust AI, despite the country’s high income and aging population.

The UN researchers don’t spell out why this gap exists, but other research hints at a pattern. In fast-growing economies, AI is widely promoted as a way to «skip steps» in development, perhaps filling in gaps in health care and classrooms, so the technology is viewed as a practical fix. In wealthier, more developed countries, headlines about disinformation and AI-driven job displacement dominate the conversation, leading to public unease.

iPhone 20 Rumors Point to All-Glass ‘Waterfall’ Screen and Anniversary-Inspired Name

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple may skip «iPhone 19» altogether and deliver a 20th-anniversary handset whose display curves over all four edges, erasing traditional bezels.

If Apple really wants to make a splash for the iPhone’s 20th birthday in 2027, it may do more than just redesign the camera bump.

Apple’s engineers are prototyping an iPhone internally nicknamed «Glass Wing,» according to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, speaking on the Geared Up podcast this week, with a display that flows like a waterfall not only down the left and right sides, but also over the top and bottom of the phone.

Gurman called it the «iPhone X design but on steroids,» and said that this is the phone that iOS 26 was designed for.

A foldable is expected to release at the end of 2026.

Gurman also floated the idea that Apple could brand the device the «iPhone 20,» sidestepping an «iPhone 19» to sync the model number with the anniversary year. A quad-curved, bezel-free screen would mark the iPhone’s most dramatic hardware overhaul since the iPhone X killed the Home button in 2017.

Reports out of South Korea’s ETNews say Apple is exploring «four-edge bending» OLED tech to make that borderless look possible, while Gurman’s Power On newsletter describes a «mostly glass, curved iPhone without any cutouts in the display,» hinting that the selfie camera and Face ID sensors could hide under the display.

If Apple really does jump straight to an iPhone 20, the rename would echo this year’s jump from iOS 18 to iOS 26 and 2017’s leap from the iPhone 8 to the iPhone X, signaling just how big a redesign Apple thinks this phone will be.
