Introduction
From Siri to self-driving cars, technology that once belonged to the realm of science-fiction is becoming commonplace, and we willingly trust algorithms' recommendations in all areas of life.
However, trust in public institutions is at an all-time low; we trust technology more than our world leaders.
In Who Can You Trust?, University of Oxford lecturer Rachel Botsman investigates the roles of trust and technology in our lives and society.
Covering topics from Airbnb to artificial intelligence, Botsman suggests that the way trust functions in society has changed and warns us of the dangers of trusting too easily in the digital age.
