Every exponential in history has reorganized the system it entered—and the thing that becomes scarce is never what the curve predicted. This time, it's the capacity to know whether any of the abundant, coherent, AI-generated output is actually true.
Our March update focused on our obsession with trust and AI. the premise of our interest is that in order for AI to be useful, we need to know if/when to trust it.
In our update, we covered four key topics:
Why trust in AI is an important topic. Automation bias means we can be primed to rely on and trust in AI beyond what we should.
Trust in AI as a technology. Trust underpins everything about real-world value of AI. We discussed trustworthiness across 8 dimensions and trust in AI across populations and perspectives.
Trust in AI companies. Each major AI company has different strategies, innovations, and weaknesses related to trust.
Trust in AI as a partner. Trust is multi-faceted from relying on someone or something to be capable, aligned, and predictable to trusting someone or something to be ethical, empathetic, and vulnerable.

The skills that can be taught quickly can be automated quickly. What's left is the slow work universities were built for: helping people become who they are.
The AI Adaptation Cube maps, in three dimensions, the roles we put AI in based on the three traits: Cognitive Permeability, Symbolic Plasticity, and Identity Coupling.
AI usage is too complex for any single research approach to capture completely. We summarize and compare three recent studies: Anthropic's Economic Index Report, OpenAI's How People Use ChatGPT, and the Artificiality Institute's Chronicle project.
