Humans Optional? Trust Issues in the Age of AI

In this episode of The Next Decision Podcast, host Jarie Bolander speaks with Seymour Duncker, Executive Strategist at Decision Council and founder of MindScale AI, about one of the most urgent questions in artificial intelligence today: Can we trust AI when humans are no longer at the center?

They explore the risks of unchecked automation, the erosion of transparency, and what it takes to build systems that earn trust—at scale. This conversation goes beyond hype to offer practical advice and frameworks for decision-makers navigating AI’s evolving role in the enterprise.
