Citing Harari on Trust Shifting to Algorithms: AI System Stability Is the Real Test
AryHHAry · x · 2026-10-29
The post quotes a Harari interview: trust is the world's most important asset, yet trust in each other and in human institutions is eroding while trust in algorithms and AI grows.
The author argues trust doesn't vanish when it shifts to algorithms—it just becomes harder to see and easier to fake. The real hurdle is whether increasingly relied-upon AI systems can keep their internal dynamics stable under perturbation, retain truly important information, and preserve fairness as inputs change. Otherwise we aren't redirecting trust but discarding its yardsticks.
