Rethinking Trust in Artificial Intelligence

This chapter examines the moral implications of AI reliability and performance, arguing that responsibility for failures lies with creators rather than the AI itself. It challenges our tendency to anthropomorphize AI and posits that genuine trust requires understanding the motivations and reasoning behind actions, which AI lacks. The discussion highlights the importance of interpersonal trust in the context of AI, emphasizing a need for moderate reliance on these technologies without naive assumptions of moral commitment.
