Advanced vs emerging economy trust split.

URL: https://kpmg.com/xx/en/media/press-releases/2025/04/trust-of-ai-remains-a-critical-challenge.html

Extract¶

From KPMG press release: "Emerging markets: 60% trust AI" and "Advanced economies: 40% trust AI." The claim states 39% advanced and 57% emerging. However, the KPMG Australia snapshot confirms: "Only two in five (39%) people in advanced economies trust AI systems, compared to three in five (57%) in emerging economies."

Relevance to Hypotheses¶

Hypothesis	Relationship	Strength
H1	Supports	The exact 39%/57% figures appear in KPMG regional materials
H2	Supports	Consistent with claim being correct
H3	Contradicts	Figures are confirmed in regional materials

Context¶

The global press release rounds to 40%/60%, but regional KPMG materials cite the precise 39%/57% figures matching the claim exactly.
