This is a very US centric view in part because of the low confidence in the American government to be able to effectively regulate negative impacts.

I don't think this link supports your claim. All English speaking countries in the "Opinions about AI by country" chart have 60%+ people who are nervous, in every country but Japan at least 40% of people are nervous, and there's no obvious correlation with the "trust in government regulation" data further down.

Why do you think so? Particularly points 8 and 9 in the linked study clearly support yellow_postit's assessment. The 81% trust of Singapore's people in the governments regulation of AI correlates with the overall more positive attitude towards the technology, while all English speaking countries show a relatively low trust in their governments.
