What you'll learn
How to calibrate trust in AI to avoid costly mistakes
Why AI products shouldn't aim for maximum trust, but just enough trust to be reliable.
How to handle AI hallucinations and wrong assumptions

Why it's a good idea to avoid confidence scores
Useful design patterns such sandboxing, intent confirmation, consensus meter, context engineering.
Why this topic matters
We often assume that just because a product has AI features, users will automatically use it for their daily work.

In this session, we'll study how to design, build, calibrate and maintain user's trust, repeatedly, over time.
