AI Trust and Perceived Warmth

from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault

We unpack a 2026 Scientific Reports study by Samson and Zelezkovic showing warmth—an AI aligning with your personal goals—drives trust more than raw competence in a real-money trust game. Explore why people treat software as social partners, how design choices encode goal sharing to boost perceived alignment, and what this optimistic blueprint means for everyday human–AI collaboration.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
