AI Safety, Ethics & Governance

What if the biggest barrier to AI safety isn’t technical complexity—but perceived alignment? A new UK study published in Nature reveals that 63% of adults trust scientists—but only if they believe those scientists are 'on their side.' The real driver? Not expertise, but perceived loyalty to 'us.' This isn’t just about science—it’s about governance. For AI to be trusted, it must be seen as serving people like us, not distant institutions. This insight from a study by King’s College London and Sense about Science, published September 11, 2026, should reshape how we design ethical AI systems.
