Three tech visionaries on how to build trust and accountability with AI

Three tech leaders argue that establishing trust and accountability with AI will require formal business practices, treating humans and AIs as colleagues, and clear rules for shared responsibility. Dr. Vint Cerf says, "It feels like we've encountered a new life form and we're trying to figure out how it thinks." Dr.

David Bray suggests, "Maybe instead of calling it artificial intelligence, we should call it alien interactions." Cheryl Strauss Einhorn adds, "When the hammer falls, it falls on us. AI doesn't care." They urged avoiding confusion in instructions between humans and agents.

Vint warned that "the big problem I worry about is agents talking to each other using natural language" and noted that deterministic programs "do what you tell them to do" and can have bugs. David defined governance as "how we avoid anarchy," likening today's mix of cloud and local models, human users, and tools to streets before stoplights.
