Let’s cut to the chase: Artificial intelligence is having a moment . A glamorous , expensive , slightly chaotic moment. Venture capitalists are throwing money at AI startups like it’s confetti at a parade, and every founder from Silicon Valley to Shenzhen suddenly claims their product “runs on AI.” But here’s the dirty secret no one wants to admit: half of them have no idea what that actually means. Beyond the Hype: Building Trust in an Age of AI Overpromises You walk into a car dealership, and every salesperson insists their vehicles are “powered by quantum engines.” You’d raise an eyebrow, right? Yet that’s exactly what’s happening in the world of AI. The difference? No one’s going to jail for selling you a dud sedan. But they might for lying about AI.
