AI and Us: From Skepticism to Trust | Markus Langer | TEDxMitte
How much should we trust AI? Prof. Dr. Markus Langer explores the fine line between blind faith and deep skepticism, revealing how we assess trustworthiness in AI-based systems—and why we often get it wrong.Through compelling research and real-world examples, he uncovers the risks of misplaced trust and highlights the role of developers, policymakers, and users in shaping responsible AI adoption. Could building the right kind of trust be the key to unlocking AI’s true potential? Prof. Dr. Markus Langer is a Professor of Work and Organizational Psychology at the University of Freiburg. His research focuses on AI trustworthiness, human-technology interactions, and AI-based decision support. He collaborates across disciplines to enhance human-AI collaboration and has been recognized with awards like the 2024 Young Investigator Award.

Even just basic, common-sense healthy behaviors can mean living a decade longer: not smoking, not being obese, regular exercise, and more fruits and vegetables. And it’s never too late. It’s never too late to stop smoking, to move more, or to start eating healthier.
