How AI works, where it's going, and what it means for our futures: these are the questions Trust Issues sets out to answer, so you can make your own mind up about the technology reshaping work and life. Because right now, most coverage of artificial intelligence sits in one of two camps. There's the tech bro hype, all confidence and "this changes everything." And there's the doom, the worst of the worst, the stuff that makes you want to close the laptop and not open it again. Neither is much help when what you actually want is to decide, sensibly, whether and how AI belongs in your own life. Food labels help us understand what's in our food and where it's come from so we can make informed decisions about what we eat that align with our goals and values. That's what's missing with AI. So on Trust Issues, we read the label. Every episode, host Ailish McLaughlin sits down with someone who builds AI, works with it or thinks hard about it, and works through those same three questions: how does it actually work, where is it going, and what could it mean for us. No jargon you need a glossary for. No one telling you what to do. Just an honest conversation that leaves you better equipped to decide for yourself. Ailish works in AI and is curious about where it's heading. But she also asks the questions you'd want asked. The "hang on, what does that actually mean for my job, my brain, my kids" questions. You don't need to be technical. You just need to trust yourself. New episodes every week, on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
