I think there are many negative implications from a lack of trust and at the risk of over simplifying things I think the way forward is to educate as many people as possible as to what it is at a level that makes sense to them and what its implications might be and how best to leverage the positives and ameliorate the negatives. No small job but such an important one that I’m trying to do my small bit with like minded people.

On AI and trust: IMHO, income inequality, big tech misbehavior, and the clear prioritization of profit margin above all else in so much of the business world, along with general cynicism pushed by nihilistic conservatives all contribute to a world where people don’t trust AI.

A problem is the growing number of "AI experts" who deliver talks/speeches in forums where they emphasize the hallucinations (a year old) of several AI platforms. Everyone laughs at these and walk away happy they continue to know nothing about AI or how it might help them. I witnessed this at a retirement community where AI could hugely benefit from various uses of AI. But the "tone" was set by this one (ill-informed) speaker: resistance.
