“learning to trust AI requires that at least two conditions are met:32 AI must be transparent. This means that people have to be able to understand how a set of algorithms works, or at least recognize the assumptions through which the algorithms are operating. AI must be reliable. Low reliability significantly decreases trust and the way to restore trust is difficult and takes time.”
