What happens when an algorithm makes a decision that affects your life — and nobody can explain how it was made? This episode examines why trust, not capability, is now the defining challenge of the algorithmic age.

In this episode:

• Why trust is society's most valuable asset — and why AI is eroding it

• How automated decisions in loans, hiring, healthcare and benefits break the chain of accountability

• The four foundations of trustworthy AI: transparency, accountability, fairness and reliability

• Why biased data — not the algorithm — is often the real culprit

• Three actions leaders must take to make trust a competitive advantage, not a compliance box
