Episode Summary Cary tackles one of the most common questions he hears in workshops: “Can I trust ChatGPT—or AI in general?” He explains that trust in AI depends on what you’re trusting it for, and that the real key is working with AI rather than expecting it to work for you. Using stories, research, and examples, Cary lays out why transparency, verification, and human oversight are essential for responsible AI use.

3 Key Takeaways:
Trust starts with clarity: Always ask, “Trust it to do what?”—the answer changes how you use and verify AI’s output.
Work with, not for you: Treat AI like an eager, capable intern—give it clear instructions, check its work, and add your human insight before using the results.
Verification isn’t optional: No matter how smart AI gets, “trust but verify” ensures accuracy, especially in high-stakes or sensitive situations.
