Summary
The 2024 Lowy Institute Poll delves into Australians' perspectives on global affairs, focusing particularly on security and threats, including the role of artificial intelligence. While the report touches on the implications of emerging AI technology within the broader context of economic optimism and trade, it does not provide an in-depth analysis of existential or catastrophic AI risks. It offers insights into Australian public opinion on alliances like AUKUS and issues such as climate change, contributing to discussions on foreign policy and national security frameworks. The survey's findings inform policy debate, though they stop short of addressing specific catastrophic AI risk mitigation strategies.

Australians see the world and their place in it. It is the leading Australian
survey on foreign affairs and informs debate and policy.Now in its twentieth edition, the 2024 Lowy Institute Poll examines how
Australians view major powers and world leaders, the threats facing the nation,
and the risk of conflict in the region. It asks Australians what they think
should be done about climate change. And it shows how attitudes on energy
policy, democracy, and immigration have evolved over time.PrefaceExecutive summaryGlobal powers and world leadersTrust, warmth and confidence, Australia’s best friend in AsiaRelations in the Indo‑PacificChina, United States, India, Pacific IslandsSafety and threatsFeelings of safety, threats to Australia’s interestsSecurity and defenceAUKUS, submarines, security partnerships, UkraineEconomy and tradeEconomic optimism, free trade, artificial intelligenceClimate change and energyClimate change, policy, renewables, nuclear powerSocietal issuesDemocracy, immigration, cultural diversityAustralian government performanceForeign policy performance, government report cardMethodologyAcknowledgements
