Royal Society, Machine Learning: The Power and Promise of Computers That Learn by Example (Apr. 2017) (full-text).

Overview
The Royal Society conducted research to understand the views of members of the public towards machine learning. While most people were not aware of the term, they did know of some of its applications. There was not a single common view, with attitudes, both positive and negative, varying depending on the circumstances in which machine learning was being used. Ongoing engagement with the public will be important as the field develops.
