Executives and institutional investors are betting big on AI’s near‑term payoff while large swathes of the public remain unconvinced — a widening trust gap that could determine whether corporate AI pilots turn into durable productivity gains or political and regulatory setbacks.
Background

The arrival of Gemini 3 Pro, OpenAI’s Atlas browser, and a fresh wave of Copilot upgrades has thrust generative AI back into the center of the public-information debate — but a coordinated, journalist‑led audit and a string of high‑profile mistakes make one thing clear: chatbots and AI search...
The short answer is: no — not yet. Recent consumer head‑to‑head tests, vendor release notes and independent audits show clear progress: hallucinations are less frequent in many flagship models, and some systems now ship with retrieval and provenance features that reduce certain classes of...
The generative-AI tide has already broken over the information landscape: people are turning to AI for everyday information needs at rates that stunned researchers a year ago, and yet when it comes to news the public remains stubbornly, and sometimes bitterly, skeptical of machine-made...
IBM’s strategy is deliberate: build industry-minded, governed AI that plugs into legacy systems and regulated workflows rather than chase consumer hype—and that choice may not win the popularity contest, but it can win durable enterprise value if the company executes the engineering...
