Recent episodes of The Data and AI Chief podcast, hosted by ThoughtSpot's Cindi Howson, highlight insights from Grant Thornton, Ligentia, and Swire Coca-Cola. The focus is on trust as the key factor in AI adoption, rather than the technical specifications of AI models themselves.

MyDataWork POV — Trust as the deciding factor in AI adoption feels like a convenient narrative shift. Sure, trust is important, yet it cannot replace the hard metrics that truly drive decisions in the trenches. Grant Thornton and others may tout trust, but without concrete proof of how it tangibly shifts outcomes, this feels more like a strategic deflection than a substantive insight. Ultimately, the model's performance is what truly matters, rather than the trust it is believed to create.
