Trust is the missing skill of the AI era. This book shows you how to build it.

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 Wanga World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, USPTO patent holder, and digital safety pioneer who helped build AI systems protecting over a billion usersdelivers the first comprehensive framework for practising 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.

Through three movementsrethink trust, decode AI, reclaim your agencyyou will learn:

• A new language for trustwhere it comes from, what it rests on, and why your instincts can mislead youso you create common ground when everyone talks past each other
• 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 forwardcuriosity, greed, and fearand how to separate earned trust from demanded trust so you see clearly instead of react blindly
• Thousands of AI risks distilled into three categories you can act onmirrors, weapons, and ghostsfreeing you to decide what to mitigate, constrain, or refuse
• With clear sight and firm boundaries, what AI makes possible as it transforms how we create, heal, and power the world, and how we can stay at the centre of that promise
• C.A.L.I.B.R.A.T.E.a nine-step practice that turns trust from a feeling you have into a judgment you make, from the boardroom to your child’s screen time

The Trust Code is essential reading for leaders, technologists, parents, and anyone who refuses to let algorithms decide what deserves their trust. The question is no longer whether to trust AI. It is how to trust wisely.
