- Trust is essential to society, with humans inherently trusting thousands of times daily.
- Two types of trust exist: interpersonal (personal) and social (system-based), often confused.
- AI will exacerbate this confusion, leading to a category error where AI is seen as a friend rather than a service.
- Corporations controlling AI will exploit this confusion for profit, lacking inherent trustworthiness.
- Government's role is to create trust in society, necessitating regulation of AI-controlling organizations.
- AI's relational and intimate interfaces will make it easier to manipulate users, hiding corporate agendas.
- Public AI models and data fiduciaries are proposed as solutions to ensure trustworthy AI.
- Government must enforce predictability and reliability in AI to maintain social trust.
