Trust: The Currency AI Can’t Create
AI transacts in facts. Humans trade in faith.

FILE  1: THE AI THREAT LANDSCAPE

  • AI spits truth at scale but never earns belief.
  • Trust is built in moments of risk, not in lines of code.
  • The next competitive advantage is credibility.

AI can calculate truth. It can’t convey it.

FILE  2: SCIENCE EVIDENCE

  • Trust Equation: credibility × consistency ÷ self-interest.
  • Affective Trust: emotion anchors belief.
  • Attachment Theory: predictability signals safety.

DECLASSIFIED EVIDENCE FILE - How Your Brain Is Wired: An Owner’s Manual

“Your mammalian brain evolved to seek the safety of the herd.  Mammals release large quantities of oxytocin at birth. That bonds an infant to its mother, which protects it from wandering off and getting eaten.”  (Loretta Graziano Breuning, p. 55)

“Premortem” is a technique devised by psychologist Gary Klein. It can also be described as prospective hindsight and is simply where you imagine yourself in the future and the project you are currently planning is over, having failed spectacularly.” (p. 71)
