Trust in AI technology and the companies that develop it is dropping, in both the U.S. and around the world, according to new data from Edelman shared first with Axios.

Why it matters: The move comes as regulators around the world are deciding what rules should apply to the fast-growing industry. “Trust is the currency of the AI era, yet, as it stands, our innovation account is dangerously overdrawn,” Edelman global technology chair Justin Westcott told Axios in an email. “Companies must move beyond the mere mechanics of AI to address its true cost and value — the ‘why’ and ‘for whom.’”

    This hype is just misplaced. Neural networks do allow a shocking variety of cool new things… but not the things that current executive assholes want to believe in.

    Quite a few of those executives are liable to be disrupted out of having a job. Or an industry.

    For example, everyone’s bemoaning AI writing, as if Hollywood’s gonna save billions of dollars by firing the cheapest guy in the room. Like formulaic garbage would be different and new. Meanwhile: video generation looks absolutely sick, maybe eighteen months after image generation was low-res and struggled to count fingers. And it can be driven by text. By writing.

    Now, personally: are you more interested in a billion-dollar studio filming a script without an author, or in a professional writer putting their story onscreen without a studio?
