Everything starts with trust. And often, trust is enough. However, misplaced trust—trusting the wrong thing, the wrong amount, or at the wrong time—can have catastrophic consequences. But how can we know when trust is enough? And what do we do when it is not? By practicing skepticism!

Healthy skepticism is a neutral stance that suspends belief until justified evidence is available. And, it helps us make evidence-based decisions, avoid negative consequences, and move forward when trust is not enough.

Practicing skepticism involves fact-checking, being aware of biases, asking good questions, and much more. And, it is all especially relevant with the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a powerful yet complex technology. Understanding AI and practicing skepticism can help us use it responsibly, productively, and safely.

Join me as I explore trust, promote skepticism, offer practical ways to develop critical thinking, and show how these ideas apply to AI and your context.

This talk is for anyone who relies on Trust to work, live, or play. (Spoiler: this is everyone)
