AI systems already advise our doctors, tutor our children, and drive our cars. They sound confident while being wrong, intimate without being responsible, and authoritative without being accountable. Our instincts for deciding whom to trust are no match for machines that fake understanding at scale. The question is not whether AI will reshape society. It is whether humans will remain in the driver's seat when it does.

In The Trust Code, Tiffany Xingyu Wang―a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, USPTO patent holder, and digital safety pioneer who helped build AI systems protecting over a billion users―delivers the first comprehensive framework for practicing trust as a discipline in the age of AI. Trust is not a feeling. It is a decision. And it is the most consequential one you will make.

- The hidden pattern behind major technological leaps from the printing press to autonomous vehicles, and why AI is the first to break it
- The forces driving AI forward―curiosity, greed, and fear―and how to separate earned trust from demanded trust so you see clearly instead of react blindly
- And much more
