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.
