Abstract
The article discusses the reasons for the similarity of public opinion about artificial intelligence in different countries. At the same time, this opinion differs from the judgments expressed by experts on this topic. These similarities and differences are explained by the conformity between folk theories that stem from individuals due to their limited experience of interacting with artificial intelligence. Risk assessments given by experts do not fully take into account the results and findings of cognitive science that are directly related to artificial intelligence. A number of results obtained in the cognitive sciences are presented. The author highlights some of them that are useful to consider when assessing artificial intelligence.
