18. Trust and Risks of AI in Work and Life

Season three kicks off with trust. We dig into how AI is reshaping whom we believe and what we believe in. We discuss how a booby trap website can trick your agent or LLM into leaking your name and employer.

Bonnie coins the term "or tax" for the exhausting new habit of second-guessing whether anything online is human-made or AI-generated. In the news round-up, we discuss:

• Cate Blanchett's human consent registry landing at the European Parliament
• New York's AI data center moratorium
• A German court holding Google directly liable for its AI overviews
• Major Publishers suing Google over Gemini training data

And in the discussion, we look at how AI is eroding trust in workplaces, with 63% of C-suite and BP saying they personally have to clean up colleagues' AI-reliant work. Up to 59% of small businesses are navigating AI without a clear policy in place. A preview clip from an upcoming episode with corporate communicator Wayne Aspland on how leaders build trust with their teams around AI.
