AI Has a PR Problem
The AI Daily Brief: Artificial Intelligence News and Analysis
Intro
Nathaniel Whittemore opens the episode, previews the topic, and shares sponsor acknowledgements and subscription info.
Today’s episode explores why public distrust in AI is accelerating, from Edelman data showing sharp divides across income, age, and geography to a broader mix of tech fatigue, social-media backlash, political posturing, and economic anxiety that’s shaping perception more than direct experience with the tools; it also looks at how concerns around job cuts, energy use, and unclear corporate motives amplify the narrative, and what early signals suggest might actually rebuild trust, including real training, clearer intent from leaders, and more concrete examples of the future AI could improve.
