How to Trust in Times of Uncertainty (w/ Rachel Botsman) | How to Be a Better Human | TED

What happens when trust is shifted away from human interactions and given to machines or companies to be monetized? Rachel Botsman is a professor at Oxford University and the author of the books What's Mine is Yours, Who Can You Trust? and the new audiobook, How to Trust and Be Trusted. From asking AI medical questions, to understanding what’s real and what’s a lie online, Rachel joins the How to Be a Better Human podcast to discuss trust in many forms.
